David Bandy and Matt Johnston have shared the spoils by winning the 2010-11 Olly Cooley Medal for the fairest and best players in the WACA First Grade competition, as voted on by the umpires.

Both players received the maximum of three votes in the final round of the season to leap-frog Rockingham Mandurah's Craig Simmons (16 votes) and win the coveted medal with 17 votes each.

Bandy took 5-17 in Subiaco Floreat's win over Perth in round 15 while Johnston made an unbeaten 93 and took 2-22 in Willetton's victory against Wanneroo.

It is the second time both players have won the medal, and remarkably their previous medals were also shared.

Bandy tied with Claremont-Nedlands' James Allenby in 2003-04, while Johnston shared the Olly Cooley Medal with Mount Lawley's Paul Davis last summer.

Only three other cricketers have won the medal on more than one occasion – Wayne Andrews (three times), Mark Atkinson (twice) and Kade Harvey (twice).

One prize that the talented pair won't be sharing is the Retravision Shield premiership. Bandy will play for the Lions and Johnston for the Dragons in this weekend's First Grade decider at the WACA Ground.
