Martin was named Sparks batsman and player of the year and it was well-deserved. The 32-year-old right-hander was the leading scorer in the one-day competition this season with 436 runs at an average of 54.50, including one century and three half-centuries.
She also played an instrumental role in the Sparks' successful twenty20 campaign, captaining the team when Suzie Bates was unavailable.
Martin's work behind the stumps was impeccable as always and she continues to be a loyal team member despite living and working in Christchurch for the best part of a decade.
Kitchen was the other big winner, claiming the equivalent prizes for the Volts. The transplanted Aucklander missed the early part of the season with a broken bone in his hand.
But he made up for that absence with some dynamic form once he returned and saved his best for last, swatting 207 in the last first-class game of the season.
It was his fourth first-class ton of the season and he joined four others who have managed that feat for Otago.
Kitchen was the second-highest scorer in the Plunket Shield with 695 runs at an average of 63.15. Only team-mate Brad Wilson scored more runs with 730 runs at an average of 45.62.
The turning point came when Kitchen smashed 143 not out from 85 deliveries during Otago's last one-day game.
The other major awards went to Leigh Kasperek, who was named Sparks bowler of the year, and Michael Rae, who was named Volts bowler of the year.
Kasperek was the leading T20 bowler in the tournament with eight wickets at an average of 15.50. She also claimed 14 wickets in the one-day competition at an average of 17.85.
Rae was one of the big improvers for the Volts this summer. He took 24 wickets at 30.79 in the first-class competition but was rarely sighted in coloured clothing.
Sparks left-armer Kate Heffernan was named rising star. Her four-wicket haul in the T20 final was a stunning performance.
Millie Cowan was named most improved. She scored her maiden century this season and will be one to watch next summer, while Caitlin Blakely was named fielder of the year.
Volts Josh Finnie and Nathan Smith were jointly named rising stars. Jacob Duffy's hard work remodelling his action and contribution to the team environment was acknowledged with a team award, while Derek de Boorder's Otago career-record haul of 308 dismissals was also acknowledged.
In an earlier awards ceremony on Sunday, Adam Miles was named Otago coach of the year for his role in guiding the Otago under-19 team to a national title. And South Otago's Francis Parker was presented with the contribution to cricket award for his role in promoting and helping grow premier cricket in the region from four to six teams.
