OSCAs - 2005 Nominations - Get Involved

Winner Munir Ali receives his award from England's Vikram Solanki

The full nominations for the 2005 OSCAs in the Get Involved category are detailed below:

Munir Ali (Warwickshire)

Munir wanted to help the youth in his area so he set up his own cricket academy with the name 'Streets to Arena'.

He runs an indoor league for the U15s and U21s at Saltley Leisure and Edgbaston. During the winter season 2004/2005 he ran a successful coaching programme for youngsters.

Gary Pike (Lancashire)

Gary puts in over 500 hours a year of his own time to help the development of youth cricket. He provides the opportunity for 1600 children to play cricket.

Gary has helped Firwood Bootle achieve Clubmark status and received £46,000 in CCDF funding for a practice facility and over £13,000 in other grants for the development of the section. Through Merseyside Sports, Gary is setting up a Disabled Section at the club.

Peter Murray (Yorkshire)

Peter became involved as a volunteer six years ago when his club, Barnsley CC, was in complete disarray - as his son Matthew was playing in the U11s at the time.

Peter continues to coach the side, is also in overall administrative charge of the junior section, and is a well respected member of the Barnsley Junior League Committee.
