Teenager Jake Libby has won the Gunn & Moore Cricket World batting performance award for June. The 19-year-old from Pensilva in Cornwall hit 452 runs at an average of 90.4 across six matches in June for his club Callington.
 
He began the month in fine fashion, hitting two centuries over the Diamond Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend (117 against St Austell and 145 against Grampound Road), and followed that up with an innings of 117 not out against St Just the following Saturday.
 
Libby - who has just finished his first year at Cardiff Metropolitan University - is a right-handed opening batsman who looks to occupy the crease, and has risen through the Cornwall Cricket Board youth ranks, representing the county’s age-group teams since under-11 level despite being born in neighbouring Devon. He has also been included in the West of England squad at various age levels and made his debut for Cornwall’s first-team in the Minor Counties Championship last season.
