Tenby AFC's Senior dinner was held at the Giltar Hotel and the guests of honour were the club's main sponsor, Andrew Price, and his partner Emma, and Deryn Brace and his partner Donna. The chairman, Huw Bridges, thanked Andrew for being the main sponsor to Tenby AFC and congratulated Deryn on becoming Carmarthen Town's new manager, commenting that hopefully one day he would return to Tenby to finish his managerial career. The Under 16s had an indifferent season and finished a creditable mid-table. Manager, Angela Nicholls selected Rhys Winter as her Clubman, while the speedy Chris Heesom picked up the Most Improved player award. The Players Player was goalkeeper Richard Bridges and Angela's Player of the Year went to Darryl Mansbridge. The Seniors had a very difficult year, having lost 18 players from the previous season. However, all but one game was fulfilled and this was mainly due to the commitment of Matthew Broadhurst, who was presented with the Deryn Brace Shield for Dedication to Tenby AFC. Matthew then proceeded to present the Seconds with their awards. Alun Morgan collected the Clubman award, with Billy Connor and Jamie Sylvester sharing the Most Improved player shield. The Players Player was shared by Stuart McLaren and Matthew himself and the Manager's Player of the Year was won by Mark Reed. Stand-in first team manager, Dene Hurlow, thanked all the players for their loyalty to the club. Mike Cornick was Clubman of the Year and Beau Pryor was selected the Most Improved player. The Players Players and Manager's Player of the Year were both won by the popular Perry Broadhurst, who was also the committee's choice to win the Johnny Elms Young Senior Player of the Season. The Junior presentation was held at the Ex- Servicemen's Club, with over 140 players attending. Chairman, Huw Bridges opened the evening and described that this was another successful season. He thanked all the managers for their hard, dedicated work throughout the year and to carry on next season where they had finished off this one. Very special thanks went to Angela Nicholls and Dene Hurlow for their continued work, not only with their teams, but starting new ones and work on the committee. Huw also thanked Andrew Price, Tenby AFC's main sponsor, and the Tenby Observer (and 'reporter' David Gibbs) for allowing the club the space each week for their match reports. The Under 8s, sponsored by County Financial Consultants Ltd., had an excellent first season and manager, Matthew Broadhurst had nothing but praise for his young players. They only lost one game in their league and were runners-up in the Tenby 7s. Each received a commemorative trophy. Toby Poole, James Harries, Danny Wainwright and Ben Palin are all members of the Swansea School of Development. The Andrew Price sponsored Under 9s also only lost one game in their league and won the St. Clears and Lamphey tournaments. Managers Jason Taylor and Lloyd Goforth presented each player with a commemorative shield. Billy Truman attends the Cardiff School of Development and Jack Parkinson, Harry Goforth, Natty Johns and George Taylor the Swansea School of Development. The Under 10s A and B, sponsored by Newey Electrical Installation Ltd. and Park Road Chip Shop, respectively, had another successful season. Managers Kevin Ferney and Alan Harries also entered a mixed team in a number of tournaments, winning no less than six, at Tenby, Lamphey, St. Clears, Pennar Robins, West End and Weymouth. The awards were shared by a player from each team. Scott Ferney and Luke Hartland picked up the Clubman award, while Tom Harries and Henrik Jaakola won the Most Improved players. Dylan Rees and Will Davies were voted Players Players and the managers' Players of the Year were Spencer Williams and Daniel Teising. The Sid Spencer Outstanding Junior Player went to Tom Dyson, who had signed for Swansea City halfway through the season. The club wishes Tom the very best for the future. The Under 10s girls, sponsored by Tatung/Jazz Radio, finished the season as Under 10s champions. Lois Horsley was Clubwoman, while Amy McGregor and Sarah Jackson shared the Most Improved player of the year. Her fellow players picked Holly Furlong as the Players Player and the manager, Angela Nicholls, chose Becky Gwyther as her Player of the Season. Holly also won the Nicola Aston Outstanding Girl Player Shield as voted by the club's committee. The Tees R Us sponsored Under 11s had an enjoyable year, before they make the big transition to a full-size pitch next season. The Clubman was Luke Conbeer, with Nathan Wilson being the Most Improved player. Richard Tebbutt and Jacob Dent could not be separated and so, both won the Players Player and Angela picked James Bridges as her manager's Player of the Year. The Under 12s had a great first season on a full- size pitch, finishing runners-up in the league and winning the cup. Sponsored by Manorbier Stores and Post Office, manager Simon Rossiter selected Elliot Goldsmith as the Clubman, while the popular George MacBeth was considered the Most Improved player. The Under 12s decided that Sam Butler was their Players Player and Toby Rossiter was the manager's Player of the Year. The Capital Roasters sponsored Under 13s were voted, by the committee, the Hillings Outstanding Junior Team of the Year, after they had won the league and cup double and had reached the semi- final of the West Wales Cup. Manager, Gavin Scotcher, praised all his players for this achievement, especially Greg Caine, who had scored 98 goals this term. Ben Steele was Clubman, with Will Cowan just shading a number of players for the Most Improved player award. The Players Player went to captain, Jake Procter and Gavin decided that Greg Palin was his Player of the Year. The Under 13s girls were sponsored by Park Road Garage and had played some good football throughout the season. They had found a fearless goalkeeper in Lori Amos, who Angela selected as the Most Improved player, while the Clubwoman went to Bethan Osborne. The players voted that Kristen Clark as their Players Player and Angela picked Maise John as Player of the Year. Willow Carpentry sponsored the Under 14s, managed by Dene Hurlow and Garry Heesom, and they just missed out on the double. After winning the league, they were well beaten in the cup final, which Dene still cannot believe. Fourteen of the boys represented Greenhill School in the Welsh Schools Cup, where they were eventually beaten in the semi-final by Barry School. Seven boys played for the club's Under 15s in the Lions Great Britain Cup, and lost, on penalties, in the Southern semi- final to Dover Town at Swindon. Alex Heesom and Phil Horsley won the Clubmen of the year and the Most Improved player was top scorer Will Thomas. The Players Player was tied between Ashley Smith and Jake Roberts and the manager's Player of the Year was Jordan Richards. Dene presented Jake Roberts with a special award for his excellent displays in goal for the Under 14s, 15's and Greenhill School. Bernard Steer then presented his shield, the Junior Goalkeeper of the Year, as selected by the committee, to Jake for the second season running. The Under 16s girls had a mixed, but enjoyable season, with many girls looking good prospects for Tenby Ladies in the future. Lauren Clark was named Clubwoman of the year and Angela couldn't separate (for more than one reason), twins Lucy and Leila May as Most Improved players. The girls voted the talented Maise John as their Players Player and Holly Cloake was Angela's choice as Player of the Year.

The Under 14s, sponsored by Willow Carpentry, who won the Under 14s league and were runners-up in the cup.
