Oli Carter named Player of the Year by Newcastle District Cricket Association

Sussex wicketkeeper-batter Oli Carter has been named Player of the Year by the Newcastle District Cricket Association at the Grand Final Presentation last Friday.

Oli spent the winter playing club cricket for Newcastle City in Australia in the Newcastle District Cricket Association and enjoyed a fine campaign making six half-centuries in 11 innings, with a top score of 96, helping Newcastle City to reach the semi-finals of the competition.

Based on a 3-2-1 points system, the wicketkeeper-batsman collected the top gong for 2022-23 after finishing ahead of Wallsend's Nathan Price and Stockton's Adrian Chad.

He's the second player from City to win the prize, following on from Mark Dries in 2010-11.

Congratulations, Oli! #GOSBTS
