Our thriving Wildcats section held their junior presentation and, with more than 150 girls attending regularly, the event was split into two time slots.
Colin Waller, Youth Secretary and Welfare Officer, opened the afternoon’s proceedings before the youngest members of the section each received their participation trophy and a well-earned buffet.
The league teams – under 12s and upwards – arrived at 7pm for their awards with each team manager providing a round-up of the season before presenting awards to their players.
To their credit, each of the teams improved either their league position or points tally in the year, with the under 16s finishing runners up in their final season in junior football.
Head of Wildcats, John Sellick, gave thanks to all the coaches and volunteers, before wishing under 14 managers Ebony Sellick and Charlie Weston the very best for the future, having both decided to step down from their roles.
Club chairman Mike Hall rounded off the presentation with a speech, before the disco kicked in.
