On Thursday 2nd June our annual Senior Player Awards Dinner took place in a packed clubhouse, with players joined by coaches, family, supporters and friends.
Players across all three senior teams were recognised with awards for their contributions on the field during the 2021-22 season.
Dave Floyd started the proceedings with a hilarious opening video presentation before handing over to coaches from each of the senior teams...
