for next season. It was agreed at the meeting at a slight change to costs for
next year, as well as changes to the club committee:
Manager: Peter Sloan

The night ended with the awards
presentation for 2012/13 Season for the following winners:
Golden boot: Alex Young (18 goals)
New Player of the Year: Ivan Straw
Managers Player of Year: Laurence
Bradley
Players Player of the Year: Jonny
Donkin
Clubman of
the Year: Dave Guilliatt
Not only Alex’s goals, but his
overall workrate and contribution to the team this season have been fantastic.
In every game he runs his socks off and has caused every defence we have faced
this season a torrid time. As well he has filled in, in midfield and defence
when needed this year which demonstrates his commitment to the team. He was run
extremely close this year with Jonny coming 2nd only one goal behind
on 17, and Nick, in his first season scoring 16 himself. Hopefully next season the
golden boot will be as competitive.
Ivan claimed the New Player of the
Year award in what has seen by many as an obvious choice. His consistent performances
throughout the year have excellent and he has certainly added extra qualify and
steel to the middle of the park. Nick and Ant shared second place in the votes
for both of their great contributions to the team, and Gareth claimed 3rd
place thanks to his continual solid displays between the posts, an impressive
feat considering he made his debut in the our last game before the winter
break.
For Manager’s Player of the Year I do
not just consider playing ability. I consider someone’s commitment to the team,
the effort made on the pitch and their attitude both on and off the pitch. This
was not an easy decision, with a number of players that I considered, with Ali
Hogben and Ben Telfor high in my considerations. However, I chose Laurence due
to his continually impressive performances throughout the year unnoticed by position
teams, and exemplary attitude throughout the year, a true team player.
Jonny clinched the Players Player of
the Year award for the first time after an impressive season. This award was by
far the most closely fought contest in the votes with Ivan in 2nd
and Scott in 3rd place one vote adrift from each other. All 3 had
excellent season, and Jonny won the award on the back of crucial goals
throughout the season, recognised as a team player that doesn’t look for
personal glory and often seen as the unsung hero of the team.
Newly installed fulltime captain Dave
Guilliatt walked away with the Clubman of the Year award for the second time
after a fantastic season. Stepping up to the role of captain after Jamie’s injury
he has led the team from the front with his exemplary attitude and encouragement
to the team. One of the highlights of the season was seeing Dave grab his first
goal for the club, and he still holds the envious record and still being
unbeaten as captain in the league.
