Chetan Aggarwal was presented with the David Bowie MVP Shield at Portcullis's Christmas night earlier this week. Chetan's 255 runs, 23 wickets and 6 catches in 12 games was the best all round performance of the year, narrowly beating Rahul Narula into second place. Congratulations to both for a very solid performance - one that we hope they'll repeat next year as we fight to return to Grade 3.

Portcullis also said farewell to Bret Dodds, who will be returning to his native Australia after many years of loyal service. Doddsy's explosive batting, threatening bowling and solid fielding skills have made him an important part of the tea, and he will be sorely missed next season, both on and off the pitch.
