We’re nearly there – tonight is the final night of our All Stars nominations…and what a week of crazy excitement it’s been! It’s been lovely to see how happy players are at receiving nominations and the best bit is that they’re all 100% earned and well deserved…statistics don’t lie and, for Senior players, that’s those of you who have consistently played well all year and it’s now time for you to reap the rewards of all those hours at training and matches.
