Bill McCarroll Memorial

At the draw the Northern Cricket Union announced details of a memorial to Bill McCarroll, its former General Secretary who died in August last year.
The memorial will take the form of a gold medal to be presented to the Man of the Match at the Challenge Cup Final. The first award will be presented at the 2008 Cup Final.

The award which will be known as The McCarroll Memorial Medal has been specially commissioned by the NCU and its reverse side will bear the wording:

In memory of Bill McCarroll
NCU General Secretary
1985 – 2007
Man of the Match
Challenge Cup Final

NCU Chairman Wylie McKinty in announcing the memorial said, ‘Bill took tremendous pride and satisfaction in his organisation of the Challenge Cup and in particular the final each year. It is fitting therefore that his name will now be permanently linked with the Final. The McCarroll Memorial Medal is something any cricketer will be proud to win.’
