The club is part of the silver award scheme. Each year eight members of the club will be chosen
from the 11 -25 age range.

Club Treasurer and scheme organiser Paul Kehoe said that the scheme would operate throughout the season with a monthly winner selected from the club members. Coaches and players would be asked to nominate a member from their age group or team. The winner will recieve a framed certificate and £300 for the club.
