As the season draws to an end we look ahead to our end of season awards to celebrate another fantastic year of great performances and growth as a club. The growth of playing members to over 200 has meant a change to the end of season awards. Last season saw 220 players, parents and supporters join our awards celebration at Preston North End. Since then the club has added an Under 7s and an Over 35s team plus grown each age group so we have now outgrown the venue.

As a result and also to improve the quality of the evening, the committee has decided to split the awards evening into a Junior Awards and Senior Awards. For the Juniors this will mean we will have fewer teams to get through on each evening to allow for more time to celebrate successes and a slightly earlier finish for our younger members. For the Seniors this will mean a shorter evening too to help with work commitments and to allow for an earlier celebration with our teams.

The Junior evening will be held at the Garner Hotel Salmesbury on Friday 16th May. Timings will be finalised shortly but we expect doors to open between 6-6:30pm with the event to finish by 10pm. This will include our Under 7, Under 9, Under 11, Under 12, Under 14, Under 16 and Girls teams. Please save the date with tickets and further information available shortly.

The Senior evening will be held in Preston City Centre with a venue being confirmed shortly on Saturday 31st May. Further details will be released when the venue booking is confirmed but it is likely to be a 7pm meet with awards finishing around 10pm followed by an after party. This is for our Senior National League, Senior MABL 1st, Senior MABL 2nd, Senior MABL 3rd and Over 35 teams as well as any casual players who have joined our training sessions throughout the year.

We can't wait to join everyone to celebrate the players' achievements this year and to tell you more about the plans for next year.
