York City Knights stars Darren Callaghan and Mark Cain handed out the awards at the Heworth ARLC under-14s end-of-season presentation evening.
Coach Gary Watson reflected on a season which started with barely enough players to raise a team but, following active recruitment and hard work, finished - as reported by the Evening Press - with a rousing Yorkshire Continuation Cup triumph against Middleton, a side which had hammered them earlier in the year.
More good news followed with the announcement that MW Builders, of York, have agreed to sponsor the team next season.
Top awards went to: Gareth Watson (opposing coaches' player of the year and coach's player); Chris Peace (players' player); Steve Huller (man of steel); Jamie Pallister (most improved); and Stirling Mackerell (clubman of the year).
Training for next season, when this team moves up to under-15s, begins on July 9.
