2021
Awards Night
The Superstars gathered on 22nd October 2021 to celebrate an enjoyable (if rather lacking wins) season at the glamorous location of the Jugged Hare in Pimlico. With COVID still abound it was no surprise some were unable or unwilling to attend - hopefully next time.
Firstly, as is traditional, the players studied the 2021 stats and the career stats Some of it was rather 21-rated!
Chairman Matthew Conway then gave a beautiful speech thanking various players for a great year. After the speech the awards were presented with our hosts and comperes, Matthew was joined by Captain Barry Gigg. The usual long list of awards were presented, reflecting the highs and lows of the Superstars' 2021 season. Our headline award was-
