Joe Guest scooped a hat trick of awards at Friday night’s Presentation Evening held at the Cygnet Healthcare Stadium. It was a more casual event than recent years as there is a more formal Champions Dinner to be held on 30th June, further details of which will be announced soon.
Guest was awarded both the Players’ Player of the Year and the Supporters’ Player of the Year whilst also netting the Champagne Performer accolade for winning the most Man of the Match and Player of the Month awards during the season. Jay Foulston also netted two prizes on the night, winning Goal of the Season for his free kick at Tiverton and also being named Press Writers Player of the Year. Captain Nick Grimes was the winner of the Chairman’s Award while Club Shop manager Lee Derrick was named Clubman of the Year.
The full list of awards was as follows:
APRIL PLAYER OF THE MONTH – there was no individual Player of the Month for April because it was such a massive team effort during the final month of the season to claim the Premier South title. Therefore, each member of the squad deservedly received a memento.
