The Nathan Trainor Perpetual Trophy is the Highest Award available to a Dazzler.
This Trophy has been named after the person who despises us more than any of our long list of HATERS.
The Irony of the Award is that Nathan Trainor is actually the worst sportsperson that we are aware of, who has no known skills at any sport, least of all Cricket?
To be eligible for this prestigious award a Dazzler must excel in all areas of participation at a Carnival.
The winning Dazzler must make a significant contribution with bat and ball as well as lead the way in any antics that go on of field.
This person must be the standout in everyone’s mind when thinking about the weekends events.
This Award is voted on by the entire Team and the winner is announced in the Closing presentations.

The Nick Henslite Commitment Award is an honour that is aimed to recognise the Dazzler who shows the most commitment in the field over the course of a Carnival.
This award is not necessarily about individual brilliance or to recognise the best fielder. The recipient should be the Dazzler who has aggressively attacked the ball at every opportunity.
While it is not a requirement, Blood spilled for the “Badge” will certainly weigh heavily toward the decision.
This Award Represents the absolute Diehard spirit of its namesake, who led by example during the foundation years of the Clubs history.
This Award is decided by the Club Officers; however nominations can be made by any Dazzler.

The Best on Ground Medals are presented to the Dazzler who is deemed to be the best performer during a particular game by his peers.
This award is voted on after each game and a video playback of votes is displayed each evening to the Team.
Team spirit, leadership and on field enthusiasm are considered as important as physical contributions.

The “Club Man” Award is intended to recognise a Dazzler who stands out in the area of off field contribution during an entire Season.
Due to the significant amount of people who contribute to the team’s overall functionality this Award may not always be presented.
The intention of the Award is to recognise a person who has vision and has influenced the overall team direction and future viability, rather than to highlight one of the many people who complete significant workloads behind the scenes for the Club.

Adam Phillips  
- Ashes 07 NTPT Winner

Adam Phillips took out the inaugural Nathan Trainor Perpetual Trophy in Glorious style.

“Gumby” took the Carnival by the scruff of the neck and wrung every ounce of life from it!!!.

First Ball 6’s in the first 2 games and a very solid contribution with the bat for the overall carnival set the scene.

His “Gutter Incident” is likely to go down in Dazzler folklore as one of our funniest happenings of all time.

Jason Miller  
- Ashes 08 NTPT Winner

Jason Miller was a stand out in 2008 to take over from Gumby as the holder of our most prestigious Award.

On the field Jason was ‘undefeated’ with the bat, bowled very solidly and DAZZLED the crowds with his laser sighted run outs.

Off the field he transformed into one half of the ‘Terror Twins’ and went out hard.

Any one who witnessed him staring death in the eye(s) on the dance floor is probably still getting therapy???

RESPECT!

Ryan Martin took out the inaugural Clubman of the Year Award in January 2007.

Ryan changed the face of the Club and set a direction for the future that will establish a platform for the future financial success of the Club. The implementation of the original website (www.dazzlers.tv), establishing the newsletter and taking the first steps towards launching the Dazzlers into the realms of public access television were just some of the initiatives instigated by “Rhino”.

These initiatives not only revolutionised our Club’s operations, but set the benchmark for amateur organisations in the broader Cricket community.

Anthony Buttigieg aka Big Dog
- Ashes 08 N.H.C.A Winner

2008 was the first year of this honour and Anthony ‘Big Dog’ Buttigeig set out to capture this award from the very first ball of the Ashes Carnival.

Big Dog Fearlessly attacked the Ball for the entire 3 days in kamikaze style. Blood was spilled and not even a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder could stop him.

It should be noted that this bravado is also backed up with some serious skills.

After an insightful bowling change by the Vice Captain on Day 1, ‘Big Dog’ took a crucial wicket to break the spirits of the opposition and set the Dazzlers on course for yet another crushing Victory.
