The Felix Byam Shaw Award recognises selflessness and the desire to succeed or to help others to succeed and is presented to a player from within the pathway. The annual presentation of the award remembers Felix, with the trophy honouring his legacy and keeping him as a part of the Oxfordshire cricket family, despite his tragic passing. The Felix Byam Shaw Award was presented by Kieren Bushnell and Neil Pickup. Two players and one coach were nominated for the award including Ellie Thomason, Imi Watts and Paul Rallings with citations read and each receiving a certificate. The deserving winner was decided by Jane Byam Shaw and presented to Paul Rallings.

Oxfordshire Cricket are delighted to congratulate James Coles on becoming the 161st player to be awarded with his Sussex County Cricket County Cap.

James is known to many in Oxfordshire, having progressed into the professional game from our pathway via the partnership between Sussex CCC and Oxfordshire Cricket, later making his professional debut for Sussex CCC at the age of just 16 against Surrey in September 2020. James was presented with his County Cap by former Sussex CCC player, Chris Nash during the lunch break of the Vitality County Championship match between Sussex and Glamorgan at The 1st Central County Ground on 9th September 2024.
