John Scholes Medal

The John Scholes Medal was first awarded in the 2003/04 Men's 1st XI Grand Final (though a Medal had been awarded since the 2001/02 Final) for the Player of the Final in recognition of the service given to Cricket in Victoria by the late William John 'Barrel' Scholes.

​

Scholes to this day holds the record for the most Premier/District 1st XI Games played (396 between Carlton and Fiztroy Doncaster) and was also a former Victorian Player, Captain and was State Coach at the time of his sudden passing in 2003.
