Alan Rankin Memorial Trophy
Medal namesake: Alan Rankin.
About: Arguably the greatest player to ever represent the Trafalgar Cricket Club, Alan Rankin made a monumental amount of runs throughout a 30 year career. His 27 first grade centuries are easily the most by any Trafalgar batsman. He was selected in the All Gippsland XI 15 times and made in excess of 60 centuries at club and league level overall. The Gippsland Cricket League awards the Alan Rankin Gippsland Cricketer of the Year Trophy for best player in Gippsland representative competition games, the Warragul and District Cricket Association award the Alan Rankin Medal for best player in the A Grade grand final and the Trafalgar Cricket Club awards the Alan Rankin Memorial Trophy to its A Grade batting aggregate winner.
