Wellington AFC celebrated a successful season with an awards night recently.

The event on Saturday, May 10 saw more than 100 players, officials, and supporters across three teams attend.

Chairman Mike Hall expressed his gratitude to everyone involved for their contributions over the past year.

The three managers, Richard Cherry of the first team; Mark Owen of the reserves; and Matt Groves, who manages the A team jointly with Warren Troth, then reviewed the season before presenting the awards.

The club award for Young Player of the Year went to Dylan Groves.

In the first team, Jake Quick was the leading scorer, Glen Wright was chosen as players' player and supporters' player, and Mark Cornish was the manager's player.

The reserves saw Jack Bryant as the top scorer and supporters' player, Alfie Barratt as players' player, and Sam Bryant as the manager's player.

In the A team, Jordan Sellick was the top scorer, Mitch Hansen was the players' player, and Aiden Trott was the manager's player.

Several club helpers were also recognised, including Lauren Watts, who is stepping down after three years as a sports therapist.

The club's Wellington Ladies and Wildcats Ladies will hold their awards nights on Saturday, May 24 and Saturday, June 14, respectively.

Presentations to the various boys' and girls' teams are planned throughout May and June.
