Manchester Metros Awards Night

Henry Denny: Best Dressed Award
Monday night's award ceremony marked the end of the club's season as exams are wrapping up across the area's universities with many folks heading home for the summer. The Oxford on Oxford Road played host to the event that saw around twenty smartly dressed folks in attendance.

The event kicked off with opening remarks from Chairman Matthew Rohani who spoke about the trying seasons all three teams experienced, the positives for the future, and the club's financial standing -- which at some points had been in flux due to abnormal attendances at trainings throughout the second term.

Manchester will continue to play regular mixed-level friendlies throughout the summer.

The following is the list of award winners in bold as selected by the committee members and/or bench coaching staff -- nominees are listed alphabetically in italics.
