All-rounder Jason Smith was the big winner at the Dolphins' end-of-season awards on Wednesday.
He took home Player of the Year and the Players' Player of the Year titles.
Smith was crucial with the bat in the team's successful 4-Day Domestic Series campaign, finishing as the Dolphins' highest run-scorer and ending the competition with an average of nearly 56.
The middle-order batter played a number of crucial knocks in the competition, but his 136 against North West helped set up a dominant win that was vital in helping his team to a second competition title in three seasons.
Smith also produced some fine performances with the bat in the One-Day Cup, which saw him finish as the Dolphins' second-highest run-scorer.

Prenelan Subrayen was announced as the CSA 4-Day Domestic Series Player of the Season. He finished as the competition's second-highest wicket-taker with 29 and best match figures of 11/97.
Subrayen ended with two five-wicket and one 10-wicket haul in the competition.
Jon-Jon Smuts and Smith were the award's other nominees.
From a 50-over cricket perspective, Player of the Season went to Brad Porteous.
As one of the Dolphins' best breakout players, he made an immediate impact in the side, scoring one century and fifty in the tournament that saw him finish as the team's best batsman.
Smith was again a nominee, with all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo, who finished the competition with 12 wickets.
The CSA T20 Challenge Player of the Season nominees were Grant Roelofsen, Ottniel Baartman and Eathan Bosch, with all three playing important roles in the Dolphins' charge to the final of the tournament.
