Cumberbatch rakes in awards

FOR ALL the points she poured in last season, Maria Cumberbatch scored just as big this week.

The Preferred Insurance Brokers Pinelands guard nearly swept the awards, copping the league and finals MVP trophies again during Wednesday’s prize-giving ceremony of the No.1 Beauty Supplies and Beauty Exchange Women’s Basketball League at Co-operators General Insurance.

They were just two of the three individual honours for the prolific Cumberbatch, who was also named the league’s Most Offensive Player in a season where she led the Pine to the league title.

It was the second time in as many years the speedy combo guard walked away with all three awards, as she was also duly recognised for her efforts in helping Station Hill to their 12th league crown in 15 years. (JM)
