Ken Block Trophy
2011 AWARDS NIGHT
The Superstars gathered on 11th November 2011 to celebrate what had been a fine season on and off the pitch. They were delighted to out-fox the paparazzi again by avoiding booking the Dome or Royal Albert Hall but instead went for the Old Star in Westminster. Better luck next year the Sun! Despite the disappointing lack of red carpet there was a good buffet, lively chat and the ever popular stats to keep everyone amused - this year with added analysis that came from an overly long drinks session between Paul Gaught and Jim Owen, plus an overly long Gaught notice period before he left DfT! There was an excellent turnout, with legends from the past mixing with the current Superstars.

After the buffet was decimated and the free bar was but a pleasing memory the awards were presented with our hosts and comperes, Chairman Steve Meyler and Captain Barry Gigg, taking relative control of procedings. The usual long list of awards were presented, reflecting the good, the bad and the ugly of the Superstars' 2011 season. The winners of the trophies were-

Despite all the awards already presented the highlight of the evening for all present was the presentation of the Ken Block Trophy, after our 2-1 series victory over Dodgers. Rob Fox kindly attended (the free beer might have helped!) to present the trophy to Steve and Barry, to cheers from those gathered. Drinking then continued into the night, so i'm told anyway as my memory of the later hours is rather hazy!
