The event was held without the usual pomp and celebration that goes with a Cockles’ Awards Ceremony owing to the on-going Coronavirus pandemic.

Social distance was the order of the day as players stepped forward to be honoured with various awards from the 2019/20 campaign.

The coveted Players’ Player award for the 1st XV went to Lewis Geran who then returned to collect the award of Best Newcomer.

The other Cockles’ teams Players’ Player of the Year award winners were Sam Fulthorpe for the 2nd XV and Alex Hooper for the Nomads.
