Football Prizegiving this year was a bit different for me as being the manager of Findlay's team, i had to do some of the presenting. Scary stuff!!
I had to choose a Player of the Year as well as a "Most Improved Player". Last year Findlay won the Player of the Year trophy and although the consensus of opinion amongst the parents was that he should win it again, I felt it was better if someone else did. (Can't have the manager's son winning all the prizes!) Anyway I choose someone else but Findlay did win a special prize - Golden Boot - for scoring 50% of his teams goals in the season . He scored a total of 27 goals in 17 games which wasn't bad considering he was goalie for one half in 3 of the games!
As you can see from the photos there was a local celebrity at the Prize Giving - Jeremy Brockie. He had played in the New Zealand Football team in the Olympics and had scored the goal in the opening game against China - not bad for a 19 year old. He is a bit of a hero for my boys.
