2019
Awards Night
The Superstars gathered on 22nd November 2019 to celebrate an enjoyable season at the glamorous location of the Jugged Hare in Pimlico.
Firstly, as is traditional, the players studied the 2019 stats, the career stats, the milestone clubs and some analysis on the collapses of the year. Some of it was rather 18-rated!
Chairman Matthew Conway then gave a beautiful speech thanking various players for a great year. After the speech the awards were presented with our hosts and comperes, Matthew was joined by Captain Barry Gigg. The usual long list of awards were presented, reflecting the highs and lows of the Superstars' 2019 season. Our headline award was-
