A large number of current and past U18 players, along with their families and coaches, gathered in the Upritchard Park clubhouse to enjoy an informal night of reminiscences and recognition of the players' efforts over the past season.

Owen Mendez was recognised as the Most Improved Player, while Steven Boyd picked up both the Players' Player and Coaches' Player of the Year Awards.

Last year's U18 players who have now progressed to the senior ranks presented the leaving U18 players with club ties, and hopefully we'll see many, if not all of them, join the senior squad next season.

On a light-hearted note, Taylor Lockhart and Ben McKittrick were each presented with a match ball for its not-so-impressive use in particular situations!

Many thanks to Kerry, Jen and Helen for catering on the night, and to Mark, Jamie, Alan and Brian for coaching and encouraging the boys across all the youth year groups.
