Club of the Year Award:

 
Arguably one of the most difficult sections because there are so many clubs in our county punching well above their weight, especially ‘up the line’, and all three finalists have certainly done that.
Special congratulations to Milford Haven Hockey Club in a season of special commemoration - and I know that Dianne and Charlotte Davies will lead the way in their celebrations at winning this award from two other special candidates!
