ANDY Flintoff has won the EDS Walter Lawrence Trophy for the fastest century of the season.

The Lancashire star blasted Gloucester for 100 off 61 balls and went on to hit 158 in the championship game at Bristol in June. In fact it was the quickest century in eight years.

Flintoff will be handed the trophy and a £5,000 cheque at the Royal Albert Hall on September 29.
