Looking back on a tremendous 2008-9 campaign with our Annual Presentation Evening, held in the New Windmill Ground clubhouse on Friday 7 May 2009. Our special guest for the evening was republic of Ireland international 'keeper Dean Kiely, who also happens to be father of our own 'keeper, Chris Kiely. Dean was due to play for West Bromwich Albion next day in their final efforts to stave off relegation from the Premiership - and he won many plaudits for a brilliant performance. Good to see that our evening didn't knock him off his stride!

Party atmosphere in the clubhouse, and for the first time an attached marquee, as the awards are about to be announced

Only one possible winner of the Highest Goalscorer of the Year - Mark Bellingham (and son)

And the Supporters Player of the Year goes to ... yes, you guessed (with two sons!)

The Clubman of the Year Award is well earned by Ron and Carol Ainsworth

And onto the auction ... one of two Bello hat trick footballs up for grabs

And finally a superb framed collection of images from our first season in the Midland Division ... something to look back on as we end champions in our second season.
