UTS North Sydney Access Grants Bradman Medal 2025/26

UTS North Sydney District Cricket Club | April 26, 2026

The 2025/26 season is the ninth in which the Access Grants Bradman Medal has been awarded to the UTS North Sydney First Grade player of the year, thanks to the continued generous support of longstanding sponsor, Access Grants.

Points are awarded in each round using a formula based on runs, wickets and fielding dismissals, and totted up to determine the overall positions. The winner at the end of the season takes home $1,000, and there’s $100 on offer for each round.

Individual round winners were announced through the season on the Bears' socials, with Justin Avendano and Jamieson Hedges topping the bill with $300 each. And at the club's Presentation Night on Friday 24 April, Justin was announced as the overall winner thanks to his amazing end to the season with three hundreds in the last four rounds and a total of 748 Belvidere Cup runs. Mac Jenkins and Jamieson Hedges finished in second and third position respectively.

The award was presented by two-time winner, James Campbell, on behalf of Access Grants.
