Chance to Shine Annual Awards 2017 Our Annual Awards returned to Lord's Cricket Ground on Tuesday (14 November) to celebrate clubs, individuals and schools who have gone the extra mile this year to help spread the power of cricket and make the charity such a success. The awards, supported by NatWest, saw nominees from up and down the England and Wales join us to recognise their dedication to the game, alongside special guests including England batsmen Jason Roy and Nick Compton, with host Eleanor Oldroyd.
