ICC Centenary Medals -

Cheryl Styles and Earle Cooper, JCC members, were presented with ICC Centenary Medals in March 2009. These were presented to volunteers who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to the game and it is good to see two of our members honoured as there was only 50 medals presented in NZ.
