2012 AWARDS NIGHT
The Superstars gathered on 9th November 2012 to celebrate what had been a fine season in the rare occasions the rain allowed us onto the pitch. Steve Meyler started the formalities which a presentation that shows why we all find him such a powerful and inspirational force in the club. If you wish to see the presentation (without the video) just click on the picture of Steve, to watch the video click on the image on the right (please note that file is huge so may take a lot of time to download)-

The presentation included a nod to retiring Hall of Famer Mike Taylor. After the buffet was decimated and the free bar was but a pleasing memory the awards were presented with our hosts and comperes, Chairman Steve Meyler joined by Captain Barry Gigg.

Despite all the awards already presented the highlight of the evening for all present was the presentation of the Ken Block Trophy, after our 2-0 series victory over Dodgers. Phil McBarron kindly attended (the free beer might have helped!) to present the trophy to Mike Taylor, to cheers from those gathered. Drinking then continued into the night, so i'm told anyway as my memory of the later hours is rather hazy!
