Rugby St Andrews Trophy Day 2009
The Nominations Micros, U7’s, U8’s & U9’s
All Coaches attended a Meeting 2 weeks ago to discuss / select / debate and finalise the nominations for each age group: -
1. This Seasons Most Improved Player
2. This Seasons Most Committed Player
3. This Seasons Players Player
The coaches have decided on 3 deserving players
The teams have then decided who they think deserves the players’ player award
Votes then counted to give us the winner
Needless to say, we as coaches, found it incredibly difficult to narrow it down to just a few names.
All players are winners but ultimately we only have 3 trophies per age group.
Micros
Most committed
- Billy Payne – Born with a ball in his hand, always there and ready to go before anyone else

- Dilan Goodwin – when Dilan is in the team, the team is more of a team. Cheeky and motivated
