After what has been a historic year for Black Boy Football
Club, our End Of Season Do went down a treat and I am sure I speak for
everyone when I say a big “thank you” to Graham, Sean, Shanks, Batesy and
anyone else who helped organise the event. Thankfully the weather was kind and
this year we were able to enjoy a selection of sausages and burgers in the sun.
Mark Austin was even treated to his favourite type of brown tofu pancake. We also
had a good turn-out of players while the emergence of Taff can surely be put
down to a free bar and the sound of sizzling meat which is known to attract
Elks from far and wide.
This particular season saw the presentation of our league
runner’s up medals which was a nice touch and a reminder that this has been by
far the best season the club has ever had. The only frustration was to lose out
on the league title on goal difference. On to the individual awards and James
Driver deservedly received the Managers Player Of The Season honour, while
Graham Plummer picked up the Player’s Player trophy …before handing it to Charlie Leighton.
Now we can begin our preparation for the forthcoming season,
one that will be tough on us, but I know we can take a lot of heart from our
performances against the likes of Westbury and Stoke-By-Nayland while there
will be plenty of other teams in the league who are very beatable. Above all,
let’s make sure we continue to enjoy it.
