Kaleb Day (wk) (Helensvale Pacific Pines)

Day came of age in a disappointing season for the 2017-18 grand finalists, finishing fifth on the runscoring chart with 462 at 35.33, including 101 against Runaway Bay.

Michael Waldren (Surfers Paradise)

The new wooden spooners had little to celebrate in 2018-19, but Waldren (26 wickets at 21.12) can hold his head high.

Stuart Frost (Runaway Bay)

Frost was one of few bright spots in a tough Seagulls season, with a season-best haul of 6-25 against Mudgeeraba Nerang helping him to 27 wickets at 21.07.

Luke Mussett (Palm Beach Currumbin)

The Lions narrowly missed a finals spot and Mussett, with 33 wickets at 18.73, was one of the big reasons why.
