Stamford Rugby Club held their annual seniors award presentations night last Friday at the clubhouse.

The club celebrated the successes of both the men and the womens sides over the past season.

Both the men's development and veterans sides also produced a number of great performances throughout the season.

Stamford Womens team, in their inaugural competitive season, went on to come second in their league, which gained them promotion, and enjoyed success in winning the NLD Trophy competition.

Club president, Jai Nairn, said: "We are not only handing out awards to a small number of our senior players but are celebrating yet another successful year for the entire senior section at the club.

"I know that everyone involved within the senior section really can't wait to get stuck in with pre-season training and then on to the league and cup fixtures next season.

"I have a feeling that we will be celebrating even greater success at the end of next season."

The main awards of the evening were: men's player of the season – Ben Chisholm, womens player of the season – Hannah Dennis, men's most improved player of the season – Joe Howard and womens players' player of the year – Gemma Alcoran.
