Qld honour Hartley

Record-breaking wicketkeeper Chris Hartley has been named Queensland Cricketer of the Year for a third time.





Hartley was rewarded the Ian Healy Trophy on Friday night after a summer in which he became the first to register 500 Sheffield Shield catches.

In overall Shield dismissals, Hartley (520) has surpassed all-time Queensland leader Wade Seccombe (489) and is now in sight of national record holder Darren Berry of Victoria (546).

This summer Hartley scored 529 runs at 44.08 and claimed 35 catches.

Queensland on Friday night also farewelled the only other player to claim three Ian Healy Trophies, former skipper James Hopes.

The former Australian one-day international allrounder, who retired this summer after 105 first class games for Queensland, was named Players Player by Bulls teammates.

He is the 15th player to notch 100 first class games for Queensland.

Matthew Renshaw (738 runs at 43.41) was Queensland's Sheffield Shield Player of the Year and big-hitting Brisbane Heat captain Chris Lynn the Big Bash League winner.

Southern Stars wicketkeeper-batter Beth Mooney won Queensland Fire one-day Player of the Year and the inaugural WBBL Brisbane Heat MVP awards.

Mooney, 22, will try to help Australia claim a fourth straight Twenty20 World Cup win in this weekend's final against West Indies.
