Lancashire's 2013 awards.

Hogg claims player of the year award.

Kyle Hogg claims career-best figures of 7-27 versus Northants at Old Trafford.

Kyle Hogg was presented with the Thwaites Wainwright player of the year award last night in a season which saw the fast bowler claim 60 Championship wickets with an average of just 18.42 runs per victim.

The 30-year-old was also named as the University of Salford Championship player of the year, registering his 200th first-class wicket against Leicestershire in the final home match of the season.

Until the midway stage of the season, the young player of the year could have probably gone to half a dozen candidates, but a clear winner emerged in the name of Luis Reece, and with eight fifties already in his tender career, he promises to be a real talent as Lancashire return to the first division.

Reece accumulated 722 runs from just 16 innings and, despite failing to make a maiden century for the Red Rose county, his average of 55.54 puts him behind only Simon Katich, who was in contention for the player of the year award, with the best batting average in the entire division (73.13).

The Hill Dickinson One-Day player of the year was deservedly awarded to Ashwell Prince, who made 506 List A runs in 12 matches at an average of 56.22.

The South-African could have also laid claim to the overall player of the season award, scoring nearly twelve-hundred runs in the Championship campaign, with seven fifties and three centuries in 16 matches.
