By Lachlan Ellis<\/p>\n

A Moorabool cricketer has been named best and fairest in the Ballarat Cricket Association League, but he\u2019s already looking ahead to another accolade.<\/p>\n

Dilan Chandima plays for the Darley Cricket Club, and on Monday 21 March was awarded the E.J Cleary Medal.<\/p>\n

He joined the Lions after playing for Sunbury United last season, where he also won the league best and fairest, to play turf cricket and join childhood friends at Darley.<\/p>\n

Chandima had a stellar first season with the Lions, with the all-rounder hitting 767 runs at 47.9, in addition to taking 21 wickets.<\/p>\n

He hit two centuries and four half-centuries, including 112 not out against Napoleons-Sebastopol in the semi-final, to help put Darley into the Grand Final.<\/p>\n

But despite a stellar season, Mr Chandima said he was shocked to receive the E.J.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a surprise for me. I was hoping there was a chance that I would win the Champion Player Award, but winning the E.J Cleary Medal surprised me,\u201d he told the Moorabool News last Tuesday.<\/p>\n

While winning a medal was \u201cthe dream of any cricketer\u201d, Chandima has another goal in sight, as Darley take on Golden Point in the Grand Final on Saturday.<\/p>\n
