Otley Town AFC held their dinner-dance and prize presentation evening last Friday at the Drovers Inn, Bishop Thornton. Attended by over 114 guests the evening was a great success after a very good season for the club all round.

Before the dinner club president Richard Askham welcomed everybody and reminded those present of the loss this season of three members of the club in Banger Holmes, Andy Hawley and Dave Tempest.

Once the dinner was finished the chairman gave a short speech on the progress the club was making now the Junior section were fully involved and how the club was looking forward to the future.

The presentation then took place of the awards for the season, very kindly sponsored by the club's good friends Ian and Sue Stephens, from the Rose and Crown.

The following awards were presented by the chairman: Otley Town First Team runners-up Trophies and Shield; Second Team Senior Cup Winners Trophies and Cup; first team Player's Player-of-the-Year, Paul North; second team Player's Player-of-the-Year, Dave Ryan; third team Player's Player-of-the-Year, Nick Woolley.

First team Manager's Player, Gareth Reynolds; second team Manager's Player, Bobby Johnston; third team Manager's Player, Dale Gilmartin.

Young Player-of-the-Year, Paul North; Club Leading Goalscorer, Dave O'Halloran; Clubman-of-the- Year, Peter Calder; Mucky Boot Award, Peter Nithsdale.

Finally the club presented Paddy Campbell and Peter Nithsdale with long service medals for over 30 years' service to the club. Again, thanks to the Rose and Crown for sponsorship and to Chris Bowman at the Drovers.
