Junior football awards

Marlborough Football celebrated a successful junior and youth season when they named their annual awards winners yesterday.

Due to COVID restrictions it was not possible to hold a public gathering so the awards were detailed on-line.

The top awards went to Ben Lindfield from the Rangers Keas 12^th grade side, and Fynn Hawes, who played for Rangers Rebels in 15^th grade. He was voted the best junior/youth player across all grades from 10th to 17^th.

Ben picked up the prestigious Peter Simonsen Cup for the 12^th grade player showing the most potential. The trophy was first presented in 1982 after Simonsen was part of the All Whites’ World Cup campaign. Runners up/other nominees were: Israel Reece (Rangers Keas), James Parley (Rangers Jackals) and Cullum Rayner (BV Jets).
