END OF SEASON AWARDS EVENING – Saturday 26th April 2025
After clinching promotion back to Step Four next season after an absence of two years, St Neots Town Football Club added the prestigious Premier Division Champions Cup to their impressive array of silverware, beating UCL Premier Division North winners Lincoln United. Appropriately, their final match of the season came on the day that the club brought to an end their most successful campaign for more than a decade before going on to hold their end of season awards evening on Saturday evening.
Chairman Barry Cavilla hosted the event paying tribute to Manager Cameron Mawer and his squad who had won three major trophies with the League Trophy and Huntingdonshire Senior Cup already in the cabinet before their latest triumph. He noted the major contribution to the successes being a consistent squad of players assembled by the Manager who had won the league table by a record-breaking margin of thirteen points in addition to the cup successes. It had all started two years ago with the disappointing play off defeat by Lye Town and since then the team had not looked back. Just five league defeats in 36 games was a record to be proud of, and another major achievement was the defeat of higher graded St Ives Town in the Huntingdonshire Senior Cup Final. He paid tribute to all the many back- room staff who had contributed in their own way to the club’s successes mentioning in particular the army of supporters who had followed the team home and away.
A plethora of awards were handed out as follows:
Top goal scorer: Rhys Thorpe
Best goal of the season: Murphy Culkin
Greatest number M.O.M Awards: Rhys Thorpe
Supporters player of year: Mike Amaeshike
Players player of the year: Chris Tavernier
Manager’s Player of the Year: Sammy Willis
A special tribute was noted to the hard-working ground staff who had provided the best pitch in the league throughout the season and special mention was made of the behind-the-scenes voluntary cateriing and other support staff.
The players then handed out their own particular awards to Physio Craig Lambert, Goalkeeping coach and team coach chauffeur Gary Dean, Assistant Manager Steve Kuhne, Coach Alex Minall, Shelley Phypers and Karen Pyke, our laundry and domestic goddess. They then handed a special award to Manager Cameron Mawer who then addressed the meeting, with the next objective he said was to push on further at Step Four next season.
