The Bay of Plenty Cricket Player of the Year, has been awarded to a young man who relished the opportunities presented in opening the BOP senior representative side innings during the 2019/20 season.

Taylor Bettelheim showed maturity beyond his years, as he blasted nearly four hundred runs in just five games in the Bay of Plenty First XI uniform, including two centuries.

In the furnace of Hawke Cup Direct Challenge cricket, the 18-year-old defied all the fired up Hamilton minor association bowlers could throw at him, to smack an unbeaten 108 runs in his side's total of 271 all out.

In the last ND Fergus Hickey game of the season against Counties Manukau, he worked his way between attack and defence, to post 130 runs from 159 balls in an innings which included nineteen 4's. Taylor became just the eleventh BOP batsman to post two centuries in a season. The run hungry batsman also posted a BOP Development team century for good measure.

Kane Williamson is the BOPCA First Class Player of the Year. In another superlative season, the icing on the cake for the Black Cap captain was winning the ICC World Cup Player of the Tournament prize.

The Brendan Bracewell Most Promising Player award went to Daniel Price, who made his senior men's representative debut against Waikato Valley in February, on the back of outstanding batting form in the BOP Development team ranks. Two BOP Development side centuries testified to his attacking approach with his willow weapon.

The Mike Wright senior representative batting trophy went to Taylor Bettelheim as well, who smacked 394 runs, with another young man in Tim Pringle taking out the Derek Beard bowling trophy with 15 wickets. Daniel Price won the BOP Development batting trophy with 316 runs, with Josh Earle twelve wickets earning him the Development bowling trophy.

The Hart Family Trophy Baywide Champion of Champions was taken out by Mount Maunganui premier team, who won the BOP Cup and Baywide T20 competition - with the Williams Cup won by the Greerton Cricket Club first eleven, on the basis of winning the round robin competition.

Seven significant representative milestone trophies, were earned during the representative season, courtesy of seven centuries from four individual batsmen.

Development batsman Niven Dovey led the way with 145 runs against their Waikato Valley counterparts, with Daniel Price scoring 137 run in the same game.

Taylor Bettelheim scored three tons, with Price adding his second against Counties Manukau. Jacob Logan also reached the magical milestone for the BOP Development team
