2. Award for Not Troubling the Scorers


In parallel to the dropped catch award, another award was introduced in 2009. In honour of Andy Barr and his slight issues in 2007 with the bat (7 ducks in a season, mostly in a row and Neil was NOT to blame for the first 2!!), the Flams were proud to present the "Ducky Barr Award for Service to Not Troubling the Scorers".

In the true spirit of the Flamingoes, the award tracked the people who are unfortunate to not trouble the scorers in the season, as well as Andy's progress at avoiding a similar fate to 2007. As agreed, the award is renamed at the end of the year in honour of the previous year's 'winner'.

*Robbie Hannah and David Fitch also had 3 ducks, however on a toss of a coin at the annual dinner, Tony was the 'winner'.
** 6 other players (Ben Rainger, Graeme Henderson, Paddy Bruell, Malcolm Henderson, Rob Malan and Robbie Hannah) also had 2 ducks. The duck off at the dinner (musical ducks) saw Chris Wands (representing Sogs) lose.
*** 6 players (Bob G, Graeme Henderson, Malcolm Henderson, Dougie Kerr, Tony O'Hara and Colin Smith) all had 3 ducks. There was no formal agreement on the 'worst ducker', so 2018 will be a shared award.
**** 4 players (Georgie Henderson, Simon Wallce, Ben Rainger and James Parsons) all had 3 ducks. There was no formal agreement on the 'worst ducker', so 2021 will be a shared award.
