After the players studied the stats (great work by Adam, as
always) and partook in a few drinks. Unfortunately Chairman Chris Mountain was retained at home so
legendary ex-Chairman composed an impromtru speech thanking various players for a great year. After the
speech the awards were presented with our hosts and comperes, Steve was joined by Captain Barry Gigg.

2014 season. The winners of the trophies and other major awards were- |
