The End of season Presentation Evening was held on Saturday, May 25th at the club and as well as some fine dining with some distinguished guests, 31 people received awards during the evening. In the company of Mike Bacon (EADT) and his wife Tracy and Tony Cooper (Chairman of the Trustees) and his wife Pat, Gareth Heath was the biggest winner as he collected four trophies (Supporters, Players Player, Website & Leading scorer). He was closely followed by Gavin Jennings who scooped all three awards for the successful Veterans side. All five sides were well supported on the evening and as well as some deserved service awards there was an award and standing ovation for Vice Chairman Peter Mayhew who is celebrating 50 years involvement with Leiston Football Club.
Congratulations to Luke Hammond, Gareth Heath and Leon Ottley-Gooch who all recently completed their 100th League Appearance for the Blues.
