KATE OLDFIELD was awarded the sportsman of the year accolade at Acomb Hockey Club’s end of season presentation night.

While event organiser Oldfield carried off that gong at the Elmbank Hotel in front of 64 Tangerines’ members, Paul Yoward won the clubman of the year award.

Baz Whitfield was the men’s first-team player of the year, while the second string award went to John Armitage.

The women’s team player of the year was Caroline Beavers.

The top goal scorers were Matt Dickenson and Hannah Yoward.

Hannah Yoward also took the most improved player accolade, with Dave Morris winning the men’s equivalent.

Chairman Bob Dickenson made the presentations.

There was an after-dinner show by Pete Warden.
