Henry Denny: Best Dressed Award |
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.
