Outgoing association president, Peter Musson said it was important to finish the season with presentations to acknowledge the efforts of players and the determination to push on in what was a shorter season, due to COVID restrictions.
“We felt we needed to acknowledge the players for the short season, there were some outstanding players along the way,” he said.
“We felt the kids needed some recognition for their time and efforts, so hopefully it can help keep the momentum going into next year.”
It comes as the association had its Annual General Meeting last week with a new president elected.
“Mark Templeton took over as president, and if nobody else wants to fill the role of vice-president I said I would be willing to do that for a year,” Musson said.
“He was vice-president, so that and the president are the only two changes.”
