28th May 2007 PLAYER OF THE YEAR: KEVIN JONES Kevin Jones finally lifted a trophy at the 14th attempt, when he was awarded the Player of The Year award at yesterdays presentation day. He won the award with 76 points, narrowly beating last seasons winner, Damien Askey (72 points), into second place. The two players had been outstanding all season and were well ahead of third placed Matt Craig (57 points) and fourth placed Paul Seymour (39 points). However it was Jones who secured the award with fine performances in the final two games of the season. Elsewhere Paul Seymour won an incredible 10th Golden Boot award after topping the scoring charts with 9 goals. Again this trophy was fiercely contested in an unusually low scoring year and anyone of five players could have won it in the final game of the season. However Seymour showed the quality that has made him the clubs record goalscorer and beat Rob Evans and Matt Maskery by one goal. Ben Clarke was awarded the Clubman of The Year award for showing great bravery and resilience to come back from an horrific motorbike accident. Clarke broke several bones and had a metal plate inserted in his skull after colliding with a lamppost, yet he recovered to play in twenty games this season. A new award was added to the array of gold on offer this year and Dean Hickin walked away with the inaugural Goal of The Season award for his effort against London Road Tavern.  Full pictures of yesterdays presentation day can be seen here.
10th May 2007 PRESENTATION DAY ANNOUNCED The end of season awards day will be held on Sunday 27th May. Negotiations are currently under way to find a suitable location to hold this prestigious event, although anywhere that serves chips and curry will be acceptable. The day is long awaited by the players, not because they stand a chance of winning the Player of the Year, Clubman or Golden Boot trophies, but because they get to spend the whole day and night in the pub. Managers Plant and Craig will be the guests of honour to present the trophies, but only if they can find the missing Player of the Year votes.

6th May 2007 FINAL DAY DEFEAT FOR STORES Wheatsheaf went down 2-1 to Gradeword Heating in the final game of the season. It was a close match with only Gradeword's unbeaten record and Wheatsheaf's pride at stake, as both clubs had already secured 1st and 5th places respectively. Stores took the lead in the first half through a Matt Maskery goal, but Gradeword leveled just before half time. The second half was an even contest with both teams creating chances. However it was Gradeword who snatched victory with a goal on 65 minutes.
2nd May 2007 GRADEWORD WIN APPEAL Wheatsheaf will be required to play Gradeword Heating this Sunday, after their rivals successfully overturned the leagues decision to award Stores the points despite refusing to play the original fixture in March. Gradeword, who have already won the league title, will be looking to finish the season unbeaten.
