There was much to celebrate after a fantastic season for the club's younger sides.

The Junior Academy Player of the Year was Paul McShane whilst his team mate Chris Clarkson was named Players Player of the Year. Kallum Watkins was named the ISC Shooting Star winner (pictured here with Darren Moore from ISC) whilst Joe Howey won the Try of the Year competition. In the Senior Academy, Michael Hayley picked up the main prize whilst young hooker Ben Kaye was named Players Player of the Year. Stephen Brook scored the Try of the Season against Huddersfield and Academy kitman Glyn Bell won a Staff Presentation Award. Congratulations must go to Player Performance Manager Graham Davey who did a fantastic job of organising the evening and well done to all the winners on the night.
