Awards Night 2010

Shropshire Revolution, the counties only American Football Team rounded off their most successful season to date with their annual awards dinner in Telford last weekend. Players, coaches and cheerleaders were all joined by representatives of the clubs sponsors, The Duke of York (Oakengates), The Space Place and Fisher & Banks (both of Stafford Park, Telford).

Revolution head coach Dave Reid addressed the attendees and thanked all associated with the club for their efforts in helping the Revolution to winning record of 7-3 on their way to the BAFACL Northern Final where they were only just beaten 28-20 away to eventual Northern Champions, the Manchester Titans.

‘Rookie of the year’, an award dedicated to the best newcomer to the sport, was won by Wide Receiver, Ben Langford. A credit to the Revolutions 2010 recruitment campaign, Langford was not the only newcomer to the sport to take home an award with Kicker Matt Pierce scooping the ‘Special Teams player of the year’ award.

Linebacker Alaister Jervis was voted ‘Defensive player of the year’ whilst defensive team mate, Dave Trefor won ‘Most improved player of the year’. On the offensive side of the ball, Offensive Tackle Neil Holtschke won ‘Lineman of the year’ and Wide Receiver Richard Mantle took home ‘Offensive player of the year’. Mantle from Telford, capped a terrific year personally as he also beat strong completion to win the ‘Coaches player of the year’ award.

 

The ceremony concluded with the presentation of ‘Spirit of the Revolution’ award, an award designated to recognise the individual who made an outstanding contribution to the club during the year. The award this year went to Mike Dean, the clubs official photographer. Dean, from Telford, who followed the team home and away from the sidelines during the 2010 season, also won a nationwide competition earlier in the year to photograph from the Wembley sidelines when the Denver Broncos played the San Francisco 49ers back in October.

 

The Revolution now turn their attention to their assault on the 2011 British American Football League title and have announced a round of ‘come and try’ sessions on 9th and 16th January 2011 at the TCAT Superdome. The sessions are aimed at anybody who is interested in American Football and who are interested in joining the team in 2011.
