Mum, dad and sister join Chiraq Chaudhary as Monaghan Cricket Club's first winner of a prestigious Northern Cricket Union Ulster Bank League award.

The awards are for players in the four sections of the league who score a century, take six wickets or perform a hat-trick and Chirag hit an undefeated 102 against Victoria earlier in June.

Monaghan joined the league three years ago and  helping to celebrate are Sean Murphy of Ulster Bank and Peter McMorran, president of the NCU.

Also recognised at the award ceremony was Lurgan's Niranjan Godbole. His record breaking haul of prestigious Northern Cricket Union's Ulster Bank  League awards keeps growing.

The 39 year-old Indian's early season 102 not out against Bangor  has taken his total to a remarkable 27 in his 13 years with the club. All but one of Godbole's awards have come from his prolific bat. The exception was a hat-trick with his off-breaks five years ago.

The latest award was presented by Sean Murphy of Ulster Bank and Peter McMorran , president of the NCU.
