West Tamworth power hitter Harrison Kelly took home the season's top honour, claiming the Fred Allen Memorial Cricketer of the Year award.
Scoring 566 runs at an average of 47.2, Kelly also took out the first grade batting award, while 38 wickets at an average of 11.2 was enough to secure the first grade bowling award for North Tamworth's Adam Greentree.

Wests captain Shaun Stevenson said this season was "a real turning point" in Kelly's cricket career.
"Harrison has always had the talent and it was really good to see him get some amazing results this season," Stevenson told the Leader.
"I'd say it has been a bit of a long time coming for Harrison, but it is well deserved."
Kelly added to his list of honours by also claiming the Falkenmire Cup for the fastest century of the season.
"I think it is fair to say Harrison was key to us making the grand final this season," Stevenson said.
"He got the award for his knock against Norths and that was a really pivotal moment for us in our season.
"He gave all of us a boost and it was just great to watch."
Association president Ben Middlebrook said the season had been a major success.
"Across all of the grades there was some high-quality cricket played throughout the summer," Middlebrook said.
"I think everyone is really looking forward to next season."
