IBL Honours
The league honoured its top 100 players at a banquet in 2018 and the majority of the players receiving gold bats worked during the day and played in the IBL at night or on the weekend. People like Arden Eddie, Bill Byckowski, Tom McKenzie, Denis Flanagan, Bob McKillop, Dan Collison, Alf Payne, Ron Stead, Doug Landreth and Russ Brahms. It’s these players, and players like them, that are the real heart and soul of the IBL.
