As is now tradition there will be a Champagne Moment of the Season award once again this year, in addition to the normal batting, bowling and player awards. This is an opportunity to celebrate a moment of 'pure' cricket that would otherwise perhaps go unnoticed. Members can nominate incidents from the season they feel merit consideration. Listed below are those that have already been put forward. The final list will be shortlisted by the club committee for players vote on the night.

NPCC Champagne Moments 2019
