The Victoria Pearls captain Consy Aweko was voted as the best Cricketer for the month of April at the Fortebet Real Stars Awards held at Lazio Restaurant in Kololo in Tuesday 9th May.
Aweko put up a massive performance to help Uganda clinch the Victoria Series tittle at Lugogo Cricket Oval as she was named the best Bowler of the tournament.
She went ahead to heap praise on her teammates who helped her in the performances she put up though she beat Victoria Pearls teammate Jannet Mbabazi and Kevin Awino.
“I thank God for this award, I thank my teammates because cricket is not a one man game. They have been there always, some of these wickets weren’t because I took them but because they were always their an took tha catches, the wicket keeper took the stumpings and it was a collective effort as a team.”
“This award is not only mine but for the team at large.”

“I also thank the Uganda Cricket Association (UCA) for always giving us the opportunity as women taking us around the world to showcase our talents.
