In total 18 games played (11 wins, 7 defeats), with approx.. 70 pupils across the school playing competitively this year. As was explained to all of those that have taken part, we would have loved to have been able to give everyone some form of award, as their efforts and commitment have been outstanding this year. Sadly this was not possible, however the individual prize winners for each team are as follows:
U12
Most Improved – Harry Johnston
Player of the Year – Alex Irwin
Player’s Player – Ryan Johnston
U14
Most Improved – Ethan Hillis
Player of the Year – Thomas Skelly
Player’s Player – Edward Harbinson
U16

Well done to all of the prize winners, who thoroughly deserved their awards. We would also like to specially congratulate and thank our departing Y12 players, who have set a high bar for those in the years below to live up to, as we look forward to next season.
