It’s that time of year once again where we reflect on our clubs achievements in the past 12 months and reward those individuals who have shone through in all different aspects of the each team. All awards are voted on by club members (players, coaches & associate members) so each winner will be decided by their peers. The shortlists are drawn up by a combination of Head Coach & Co-Ordinators as well as Board Members for the Clubman of the Year award. Senior Team Awards Shortlists: Rookie of the Year, sponsored by Jo Buchanan Last year's winner: Joseph Marley This award is always keenly contested as all the newbies vie for their chance to shine despite only joining the team and learning the game this year. Our rookies have really made an impact on the senior team and this award really could go to all of the guys listed.
