We interrupt these match reports to bring you news of the player-of-the-year awards.
Announced at the End of Season Party for all winter sports, held on April 5 in the main bar and very well attended by the Over 35s, the winners of our three pennants and free down-in-one pints were:
MVP: Gordon Deas
The player voted “most valuable” by his peers was Gordon Deas. Gordon’s had a terrific first season for the Silver Machine. Hard in the tackle, accurate in the pass, he’s been our Patrick Vieira in the heart of the midfield.
MIP: Stephane Laura Martin
The player voted “most improved” by his peers was Stephane Laura Martin. Big Stephane has got noticeably stronger as the season has progressed. His man-of-the-match performance in the Scholars Cup last month may just have swung the vote his way.
Top Goalscorer: Marcos Pereira
The “Top Goalscorer” award went to Marcos Pereira, who has nine (minus one for GM) goals for the season to date—not bad for a left winger. The captains in their wisdom deemed it unlikely that Marcos would be caught in the race for the Golden Slipper with just two (?) games left to play this season.
Congratulations to all the winners.
