Abdi Ali celebrated a fantastic year with the club, winning three awards - Parents', Players' and Coaches' Player of the Season, whilst Kenan McKenzie received the Coaches' Most Improved Player award.

The Under 8s enjoyed a second outstanding season. Bradley Davison was nominated Player of the Year by his teammates, and the Parents' award went to Tyler Shipston. In his first season Harrison Cassim picked up the coaches Player of the Season, whilst goalkeeper Jake Brown was voted the most Sporting Player.

For the Under 7s team, playing their first season together, there was just one award, to Jack Whyers - the Top Goalscorers' award for scoring 19 goals for the club.
