The end of the 2009 season is almost upon us. There are just a handful of games to play before the finals day on the 15th of August and the official end to the 2009 season. This year as an added dimension to the finals day, we are trialling a set of player awards voted by the players and captains!

The finals day is being played at our normal venue of Llandaff fields from 12:00 onwards in the form of knockout tournament. All 5 teams will be seeded based on their final league positions and compete for the Llandaff Cup. After the final the Taff Trophy will also be awarded to the 2009 league champions.

There are two sets of awards separated by who gets to vote in each. The Captains of each team have nominated players from their own teams for the ballots for the following awards: Female & Male MVP, Female & Male Rookie of the Year, Female & Male Golden Glove, Female & Male Silver Slugger and finally the Platinum Pitcher.

The Captains are voting for the MVP and Rookie of the year awards using a scoring system where they have to vote for a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place choice (without voting for their own players). 1st is scored 10 points, 2nd 5 pts and 3rd 2 pts. The player with the overall highest score is the winner.

The remainder of the awards are being decided by a public vote from all players that have taken part through the season. Players have until the 12th August to cast their vote filling out the form supplied by their captain or here in the Download section 2009 Awards - player voting. This can either be emailed to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or printed and handed to the captain, (if you can't email it).

All the winners will be announced at the finals day after the main final. The shortlists are as follows.
