Club Notes 7th June 2015

Since the end of the 2014/15 campaign, within which Achilles' Seniors finished runners-up in the Senior Division of the SIL and the Inter As similarly runners-up in the Inter A Division but were also winners of the Gipping Press League Cup, the Club has held a most successful Presentation Evening, an equally successful Reunion/Vice Presidents' Dinner, and the necessary AGM.

The Presentation Evening has developed over recent years into a real family affair with children most welcome and a magnificent spread of snack foods available. Those players recognise were:

Seniors: Players' and Managers' "Player of the Season" - Andy Coote.
Supporters' "Player of the Season" - Chris Leys.
Inter As: Players' Player of the Season" - Carl McCarthy
Inter A Managers' "Player of the Season" - Doug Mustoe.
"Clubman of the Season" - Simon Cooke.

The Presentation Evening was followed within a fortnight by the Dinner which was both socially and financially successful for the Club. Some 50 guests sat down to a fine spread and were then entertained by Suffolk's really "funny man" Charlie Haylock. The well-supported Lucky Draw was organised by Club stalwart Paul (Sparky) Sparke. Within the week the AGM took place and the tremendously successful Ipswich Athletic managers, Luke Hillyard and Reece Nunn were welcomed back to Achilles.

Finally, players (potential and current) are reminded that training will commence at 7pm on the first Wed' in July, starting off at the Pauls Club.
