Defensively, the 2 clean sheets show our solid foundations, but there is still room to improve. The award of 8 ‘Wall Awards’ underlines the team’s commitment to blocking everything that comes our way. Elsewhere, our commitment to our values is reflected in the Sportsmanship and Captain Awards. Our Player Development pillar sees a fantastic number of Playmaker and POTM awards, demonstrating how our players are going from strength to strength. It is great to see.
