Well, the 2010/2011 season finally ended at Purvis Park with our awards evening on Saturday 4th June, when we gave out the following awards -:
Top Goalscorer – Malky Morien
Young Player of the Year – Dean Ellis
Players’ Player of the Season – Michael Bowman
Overall Player of the Season – Tony Browell
Many other websites and most newspapers have been handing out their own awards, so I thought I’d get in on the act and appropriate the same categories as the ultra-right wing, anti-Tyneside rag The Grauniad had used, mainly because I couldn’t think of any better ones, based on my football watching in 2010/2011.
Player of the Season – Jonathon McEnaney; a revelation in midfield and not a single head-butt all season.
Opposing Manager of the Season – Nicky Gray, Seaton Delaval Amateurs; a truly good footballing outfit who took defeat in the Benevolent Bowl with good grace.
Goal of the Season – Matty Dunn v Wark, April 30th; mainly for the sheer joy he displayed on slotting the ball home.
Match of the Season – Percy Main 9 Rutherford 0 on May 21st, for obvious reasons, but just shading the superb 2-2 at home to Ashington Colliers on April 23rd.
Signing of the Season – Michael Bowman; has to be with a dozen goals, though many others such as Ashley Smyth and Matty Dunn are also in there with honourable mentions.
Flop of the Season –Hendrix Ekwen and Salim Husseine; who can forget their substitute sub appearances at Harraby? Mind, 11 players made a total of 5 appearances between them and, discounting Graeme Cole because of injury, 16 players made 20 appearances in total.
Gripe of the Season – The postponement of the Shankhouse home game on January 15th a mere 7 minutes before kick-off really grated.
Pundit of the Season – Bill Gardiner the Alliance Press Secretary died in January 2011; RIP to a true gent.
Innovation needed for next season – Either more frequent programmes for opposition clubs, as only Rutherford, Harraby and Walker produced them this year, or a Northern League style postponements line.
League of the Season – Northern Alliance Premier Division; no contest!
