Bermuda Cricket Board?s (BCB) 2006 prize presentation turned out to be a family affair at Ocean View Golf Club over the weekend.

Veteran cricketer Olin Jones was voted as Premier Division MVP while son Malachi and brother-in-law Clevie Wade were recipients of the Board?s Young Player of the Year and Coach of the Year awards respectively.

The senior Jones ? a former Southampton Rangers skipper and Somerset Cup Match batsman ? starred with both bat and ball this summer, particularly in the Two-Day League where he shone above all.

?It was like a household type of thing and with my son (Malachi) winning Young Player of the Year . . . that was like a milestone within itself along with Clevie getting the Coach of the Year Award,? an elated Jones told

Jones said he was also delighted to see some of the his other team-mates receive recognition for their efforts on the pitch this past season.

?It was a good bit of Rangers players involved during the ceremony, and obviously that felt great,? he added.

?This was the first time the Board has had a prize presentation for a while, and to have one the year Rangers won every trophy and to be present to see the players receiving their awards was a great feeling.?

Over the years Jones has grabbed headlines more for his batting rather than bowling. However, this past season saw the tables turned as the veteran cricketer wreaked havoc with his off break spin.

?I?ve been bowling pretty consistent for the past few seasons, and as it happened this year was the first time in years that stats were recorded,? added Jones, 42.

As for his batting, the veteran cricketer noted: ?I just take things as they come. But with the team that we have every year I find myself going further and further down the order.

?I?m not really used to batting down that far, but it?s alright because the older you get, you really don?t mind.?

Jones? son Malachi enjoyed his finest season to date, a memorable campaign which saw the budding all-rounder?s career reach dizzying heights.

Jones? season got off to a wonderful start as he captained Southampton Rangers to the Two-Day championship in the absence of regular team skipper Janeiro Tucker last May.

The Berkeley Institute student then represented Bermuda?s Under-19 national squad at the Annual Sir Gary Sobers Schools Tournament in Barbados last July and followed in his dad?s footsteps by debuting for Somerset Cricket Club in Cup Match in early August.

Jones also made his senior national team debut during the America?s Championships held in Toronto in August, and has been chosen to accompany the senior national squad to Kenya next month at the tender age of 17.

?I?m really looking forward to Kenya and proving that I am worth being picked,? the youngster told .

?But it feels good to receive reward for the hard training I have put in this year. And to win this award is like icing on the cake.?

As for his father?s achievements, Jones added: ?I am very happy for him. I had a very strong feeling he would win. And this was a good gesture given to someone who has been around the game for a long time.

?This is all like a player?s dream come true.?

Wade, meanwhile, a former St.George?s Cup Match skipper, coached Rangers to a clean sweep of top domestic honours this past summer.

?It?s an honour and a privilege to be recognised for the hard work you put in at the end of the season,? said the former top all-rounder, who departs for Antigua on Saturday with a local Masters XI to compete in the Antigua Independence Cricket Festival.

?I thought last season was a very, very successful season for the team. But to come back and be crowned League, Belco and KO Cup champions is an even higher achievement than last season.

?And I would like to take my hat off to the team because without them I would not have received this award.?

Saturday night saw Wade?s club Rangers virtually dominate the ceremony as skipper Janeiro Tucker and jovial spinner Dwayne Leverock topped the Premier Division limited overs batting and bowling averages.

Rangers stalwart Olin Jones claimed the most wickets and had the best bowling average in the Premier Division Two-Day League, while fellow veteran Keith Wainwright scored the most Two-Day runs and also topped the batting averages.

Rangers also received $1,500 in prize earnings for defending their Premier Division limited overs title.
