The North Wales Crusaders held their annual Awards Evening at the weekend following a successful season for the rugby league side.
The event at Rydal Penrhos School was brought about by the club forming stong links with Colwyn Bay businesses and the community following their move from Wrexham to Parc Eirias in Colwyn Bay.
Players, coaches and supporters descended for the annual ceremony which was held in the school’s Ferguson Centre.
It proved to be a fantastic occasion for those in attendance, which celebrated a tremendous campaign for the Crusaders that eventually came up a little short in the playoffs in pursuit of promotion.
A lavish meal was put on by the school’s catering staff from Holroyd Howe at the event, with a large number also receiving special awards in recognition of their outstanding accomplishments throughout the campaign.
One of the big winners from the evening was Jordan Gibson, who took home the Players’ Player of the Season and Fans’ Player of the Season after a sensational series of performances to further enhance his growing reputation.
Alex Eckley won the Young Player of the Year Award, with Conrad Anderson presented with the Jacqui Walker Most Contributed to the Club Award for all the fantastic work he does off the field.
The duo of Rob Massam and Tom Johnson were crowned joint-winners of the Coach’s Player of the Season. Rob also won the Try of the Year after his memorable score against Barrow Raiders.
Crusaders thanked the school for their support by offering all pupils free season tickets for their recent season.
