Stratton’s consistency with the ball was the key to the Bushrangers A-grade attack this season, the opening bowler ripping through opposing team’s line ups with 23 wickets.
Finishing just ahead of fellow bowler Conor Brodie as Club Champion, Stratton also triumphed in the A-grade Best and Fairest count finishing five votes ahead of runner-up, batsman Simon Holmes.
