Presentation Evening - Saturday 9th June 2012
Players, management,
supporters and officials attended Rocester Football Club’s annual
Presentation Evening on Saturday at their Hillsfield ground to celebrate a
season of progress on the field.
The Romans ended their
Midland Football Alliance campaign in sixth place – the club’s highest
position since 2007-08 when they finished fifth – coincidentally with an
identical record of 67 points from 42 matches.
Chairman Mark Deaville
opened the proceedings by paying tribute to the management team and the
players, particularly for their brand of entertaining football, and he then
thanked all the volunteers behind the scenes for their efforts throughout
the season before inviting Manager Dave Langston to make his speech and
announce the award winners.
First to receive an
award was leading goalscorer Chris Sterling, who was presented with the
Golden Boot by the club's main sponsor Phil Webster after bagging 28 goals
during the campaign.
Young midfielder Jack
Langston picked up the Supporters' Player of the Season, and was back on
stage again moments later to receive his second award of the evening
alongside skipper Craig Holland - both players being jointly chosen as the
Managers' Player of the Season after Manager Langston explained that he
"just couldn't separate them".
Holland was then called
up again to receive his second award after his team mates almost unanimously
voted him as the Players' Player of the Season.
One final presentation
was made to Jack Langston to mark his achievement of becoming the youngest
player to make 100 appearances in the club's history when he took the field
against Causeway United in April a week before his 19th birthday.
