Annual Awards Presentation Evening 2009

Under 14's

Managers Comments

It would certainly be true to say that the U14's completed their last season in the YEL with quite an amazing campaign. Still managing to hold together the majority of the players who began with this side at u8s, and some even earlier, the team managed to have its most successful and enjoyable season to date.

In the league Sports were on the losing side only 3 times in 24 games, even though they had suffered 2 defeats by early October.  A few draws as the season drew to a close with fixtures coming thick and fast meant that the runners up spot eluded the team by a single point, although  in their penultimate league game they completely outplayed and outclassed the eventual league champions beating them in a comfortable 3-1 victory.

An exciting cup run saw the side make it to their first ever final, conceding only 2 goals and scoring 28 en route and although their opponents had already been defeated by Sports twice in the league, a single goal after 5 minutes was enough to deny the team some silverware. The result aside, the squad and all connected had a wonderful night and a very memorable post final party 2 days later!

A massive well done from nick and chris to all the lads and as usual a big thank you to all parents for all their support and making match days as atmospheric as possible. Roll on 2009/2010 in the Notts Youth League .

Players, Player of the Year

William Hillary

When a footballer has a large amount of natural talent it may be easy for them to succeed, but when a player has to work so very hard to achieve their goals the taste of success should taste that little bit sweeter.

With this in mind, the winner of this award must understand how his hard work and damn right commitment to the teams cause has won him the admiration of all of his team-mates, resulting in his peers voting him their top player this season.

Although a cliché, any manager would love to have a player like this at their disposal, or even 11 of them!

A vigorously competitive player both on the pitch and on the training ground, this young man has somehow managed to eclipse last seasons personal achievements having won the managers player of the year last time round.

Ever reliable, unbeatable, stubborn, never say die and a leader by example are the sort of things that would describe this players qualities, as well as an ever improving technical ability across all aspects of his game.

His team mates love him, his manager would not be without him and he is just as popular with parents and supporters alike as he is with his peers.

 

Most Improved Player

Ethan Tindall

This award this season goes to a player who you may call a bit of an unsung hero. 

Maybe in previous seasons  this lad has struggled to show consistency in his performances but this has radically changed this time round and is one of the main reasons for him being awarded this accolade.

Throughout the year this player has got his head down and worked really hard at his game, which with some wonderful  performances has really shone through.

Going from strength to strength, quite literally, he has gained in confidence and now imposes himself in games much more noticeably, with all aspects of his play greatly improving over the season.

A quiet confidence now exudes from this young man, so considering his popularity within the squad, this gives all connected with the team a huge sense of happiness.

Much deserved and 100% accurate

 

Managers, Player of the Year

Josh Henrys

At any age and at any level of football, a players consistency in his performances is extremely important.   So when this quality amongst many others shines through you know you are very lucky to be able to pick a very special player for your team.

This young man has excelled this season in all areas of his play, particularly his contribution in attacking play and his wonderful ability to strike a dead ball. The teams top scorer this season, but this accolade is only the beginning. Hard working, technical brilliance  and an ability to single handedly change a  game to his teams advantage are  the sort of qualities people notice about this lad.

Recognised at the start of the season as an individual who should represent his county at schools football and deservedly so, he has made his parents, friends and family very, very proud!

Hucknall Sports through and through and delighted to be so.
