The Club’s end of season awards were held shortly after the conclusion of the men’s first team’s 2023-24 season on Saturday. Awards were presented for the U18 Development Squad, Women’s team and Men’s First Team. It was great to see so many teammates and supporters stay behind to applaud the stars of the season.
Before we introduce your winners, please note that it is not yet the end of the season for the U18s and the Women, so please keep checking our fixture page to get your football fix for as long as you can!

Then on Sunday April 28th our Women are also playing at home, against Ashridge Park, kick-off 2pm. Our U18s go to Rugby Borough on Sunday May 18th for their MJPL cup final match.
Here are your winners:
U18 Development squad
We are proud to have provided opportunities to a number of our team in the first team setup this season. Congratulations go to Zach Scott, Lewis Middleton, Nathan Whyman, Charlie McCloskey, Jacob Hayes and Josh Crossman who have all been involved in and around the first team squad at points this season.
Our thanks to Kevin Wilson (and Mark Jones prior to him) and his coaching staff for showing confidence in the lads and affording them the opportunity and experience of playing and training with the team.
We have already started the process of hopefully bringing through the next batch of players from the Under 16 age group, who have been training with us the last few weeks – some of which will be involved in our U18 squad next season.
