Canterbury City celebrate a successful season
An impressive array of
silverware from last season’s successes greeted more than 200
players, officials and supporters who attended Canterbury City
Football Club’s presentation night at the Westgate Hall on
Friday.
Pride of place was the huge shield
won by the men’s first team, who gained promotion to the Kent
County League Premier Division but chairman Phil Knight stressed
that, while the senior side were the focal point, the essence of
the club was its belief in "community."
The first team’s Royston Gough was
voted Supporters’ Player of the Year after another remarkable
season in which he stayed loyal to the club despite a number of
attractive offers to play for semi-professional clubs.
The Players’ Player of the Year was
Ian Hossick and Jamie Brockman was named Development Player of the
Year.
The women’s Player of the Year was
goalkeeper Sarah Hardy, who received her award from the Archdeacon
of Canterbury, Sheila Watson.
Dean Brockman was not only Under 18
Player of the Year but also won the Tony Searle Youth Player of the
Year. The Chairman’s Award was given to Mick Santer (pictured).
