- Brackenbury (Hammersmith & Fulham,)

Every player competing in the finals will receive a medal from Sir John Ritblat, president of British Land, and Mark Alleyne, MCC chief coach, and then Chris Grigg, chief executive of British Land, will present the British Land Trophy to the winning captain.
Four players picked out by Capital Kids Cricket coaches for outstanding skills will receive Tomorrow’s Superstars trophies, presented by a partner in the City law firm of CMS Cameron McKenna, the award sponsors.
And the team with the noisiest supporters will be presented with the Nick Tetley Memorial Prize by Mrs Pat Tetley.
