ELTHAM'S CAPTAIN, Kishan Shattock, and Jamaica College's Marc Robinson walked away with the two most prestigious awards at Wednesday's GraceKennedy Financial Services rural and urban schoolboy cricket competitions' presentation ceremony.
Shattock, who led Eltham to back-to-back Grace Shield titles, along with the urban JIIC knockout crown, left the GraceKennedy office on Harbour Street, downtown Kingston, with the Carlton Alexander Award for sportsmanship, leadership and discipline on and off the field.
Shattock also took the Grace Shield award for the top wicketkeeper while Jeffery Scott of Holmwood, with 21 dismissals, was the top Headley Cup wicketkeeper.
JC's Robinson, who had three CXC passes in fourth form and awaits another seven this year, received the Douglas Orane Award for academic excellence and performance.
However, the individual award, which brought the most thunderous applause from the gathering was that of Maud McLeod's Derron Campbell who collected a trophy for taking seven wickets for no runs in the Headley Cup.

Ziggy Levy of Spaulding Cup and Headley Cup champions Holmwood and Shacoya Thomas of Grace Shield champions Eltham High took home the most awards.
