|
|
|
|
Northern's allocated place on the LDCC's Player Development Programme,
planned to run at St. Margaret's over the coming winter, has been awarded to Phil Lees,
following an excellent season that has seen Phil progress through the teams to a 1st.XI debut.
|
|
|
|
The nomination was announced at the annual End of Season Dinner,
when Phil also picked up a discretely understated memento (above) of his hat-trick earlier this season.

Other youngsters in the awards were Liam Biddlestone,
who has also risen through the teams this season to a 1st.XI debut
and received the David Payne trophy as Young Player of the Year,
and Ben Sloan who is pictured collecting the match-ball having become the club's youngest-ever centurion
(13 years 113 days) with his unbeaten 4th team 111 at Maghull.

I am doing the Bala Triathlon this Sunday (14th September) and am looking for a few sponsors.
The triathlon consists of a 1500m swim in Lake Bala, followed by a 39km (25mile) cycle ride and then a 10km (6mile) run.
I am raising funds for the Leonard Cheshire home in Freshfields where Sue's mam is a resident.
Find out more about the triathlon at www.wrecsamtri.org.uk, and the Leonard Cheshire at www.LCDisability.org/events
Anyone wanting to sponsor me can drop me an e-mail.
