Over the last couple of weeks, we have had our girls and boys player of the season awards and a fantastic occasion to acknowledge the winners, but also to acknowledge their team-mates, without whom it would not be possible.
Also, we must mention all the coaches who put in Trojan work with our players, and we are so grateful to them all.
Finally, a mention for the number one supporters, the parents. Without your sacrifices and enthusiasm, many of these kids wouldn't have the support they do, and that is brilliant to see at every game in Graun Park.
A special mention also to Kate O'Connor and cousins Darby Sheridan and Connor Cleary, who were all awarded the Chairman's award for contributions to underage football in both sections.
