Our Awards Night wasn’t just about trophies, it was a chance to celebrate the characters, commitment and footballing ability that make this squad who they are.
Through the highs, the lows and everything in between, this group has stuck together and represented the club brilliantly all season.
Congratulations to all of our award winners on their well-earned recognition, and thank you to every player that’s worn the badge this past season.
A special mention to our gaffer for bagging the Open Age Coach of the Year award 👏 🤩 He didn’t approve of his picture so you can have a close up of his trophy instead 😂
Here’s to another season of hard work, good football and creating more memories together ❤️🖤
