Jack Sing Medal

The Geelong Cricket Association has become aware of an issue within the Officials HQ system that resulted in an error in the awarding of the Jack Sing Medal last night for the 2025/26 cricketer of the year in the GCA1 Men’s competition.

At the GCA Presentation Night, Lara’s Daniel Weigl was announced as the sole winner of the medal with 14 votes. It has since been identified that St Peters captain Luke Ford also polled 14 votes and should have been recognised as a co-winner of the award.

We have contacted Luke, Daniel, and the St Peters and Lara cricket clubs to clarify the matter. Luke Ford will also be awarded a Jack Sing Medal for the 2025–26 season, and we congratulate him on an outstanding year. A suitable presentation ceremony will be arranged for Luke.

The GCA apologises to Luke and the St Peters Cricket Club for this error and for any confusion or disappointment it may have caused.

Men’s grand final week begins with honouring our top performers. Congratulations to Daniel Weigl from Lara and Luke Ford from St Peters for winning the Jack Sing Medal as GCA1’s best player. Nikhil Pottabathini from Bell Park needed a wheelbarrow for all his awards, including the GCA2 Barry McMahon Medal. Lethbridge all rounder Hayden Spiller won GCA3’s Jan Nowicki Medal and Meredith skipper Tyler Dittloff became the first player to win the newly minted Brent Donaldson Medal in GCA4. Congratulations to all trophy winners tonight and may the rain stay away in the coming days.

The Lawn Addicts GCA community mourns the passing of one of its finest, most popular and longest serving umpires, Geoff Deppeler. Condolences to Gill, Kate, Ash and the extended family. Geoff's life will be celebrated at a funeral service on Tuesday, 24 March at Tuckers Chapel, Barrabool Hills Centre, 4-32 Province Boulevard, Highton, at 10am. Family and friends are invited to attend. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Geoff may be made to the Andrew Love Centre. Envelopes will be available at the Chapel.
