PORTLAND Town celebrated their 10th season as a club with their awards night on Weymouth’s seafront, in a private function room above the Lazy Lizard.
With more than 50 players and partners present and more than 50 awards to give away, it was a fitting tribute to the club’s 10th anniversary.
Dave Adkins was the biggest winner on the night collecting three personal awards, as well as the coveted Portland Town player of the season.
Other big winners included Luke Barber, who was named young player of the season, as well as manager’s player for the club’s title-winning recreational league side.
Ben Gilbert of the first-team also won big with a players’ player and manager’s player accolade. George Higgins also did well with a hat-trick of prizes including best newcomer.
Colin Upfold won the chairman’s player and James Duncan scooped the most appearances award. Club secretaries, Colin Judge and Dean Ginifer, then presented a surprise final award to Andy Barber for his decade of service to the club.
n Portland Town are still on the lookout for new players for the new season. Anyone interested should contact the club at port landtownfc@hotmail.co.uk
