They also launched a Twitter page at the start of 2013 through which they provide live matchday updates from games for more than 1,800 followers.

And a newsletter launched last year helps supporters and players keep up to date with news, views and what is happening at the club.

Other accolades presented at the Awards Evening included Unsung Hero, International Open Age Player of the Year, Veteran Player of the Year, Open Age Coach, Club of the Year and Man of Steel.
