AWARDS DINNER: All The Photos & Winners From Durham’s End of Season Dinner

Durham Women’s players, partners, staff and fans gathered at Ramside Hall Hotel on Friday, May 5 for the club’s annual End of Season Dinner.

The evening, hosted by sports journalist Colin Young, saw the entire Durham setup come together to celebrate another year of individual and collective achievements.

With over 200 people in attendance, the night began with a stunning montage of the past twelve months put together by volunteer Will Hepple.

We then paid tribute to club partners Vision for Education and KATEM Logistics, who had representatives in attendance to collect framed playing shirts.

Next up to be recognised were Sarah Wilson and Beth Hepple, who were also given shirts to commemorate their ten seasons of service at the club – following in the footsteps of Ellie Christon, who received her shirt prior to the win over London City Lionesses in March.

It was then onto the awards, with Dee Bradley taking home two First Team honours as she scooped Club Player of the Year and Supporters’ Player of the Year.

Mollie Lambert landed the coveted Players’ Player of the Year trophy, with Sarah Robson named as Player of the Year.

Rio Hardy collected the Golden Boot with Poppy Pritchard named Young Player of the Year after a breakthrough campaign.
