Cambridge FC have celebrated their best performers of the 2018 season at the club’s annual Senior Prizegiving event.
Held at the senior clubrooms, John Kerkhof Park, about 120 players, coaches and supporters enjoyed presentations to all the winners.
Goalkeepers had a great night with Patrick Steele (first team), Patrick Espin (reserves) and Paul Macaan (D1s) collecting six trophies between them while women’s goalkeeper Jen ‘Stoney’ Hull received a special presentation to mark her 120+ appearances for the club.
Andrew Taylor went home with three trophies – Men’s Club Player of the Year, Reserves Coach’s Player of the Year and the men’s Golden Boot.
Rachel Hill was named Women’s Club Player of the Year and shared the women’s Golden Boot with co-striker Astrid Howarth.
Facilities manager Craig Clark won was named Club Person of the Year for the second year in a row, and he was also a part of the D1 team who were named Club Supporters of the Year for their efforts in volunteering for club projects and events.
The D1s’ Jim Thomassen collected the Supporters of the Year tankard on behalf of the team and was given a rousing cheer for preparing (with Andrea) an excellent two-course meal for those at the prizegiving.
The D1s’ coach and senior grounds manager Harry Bomans shared the Club Personality of the Year award with reserves team manager and referee co-ordinator Des Beeney.
