It has been a great season for the club from our 10s right through to first team and these evenings should hopefully cap off a great year for Gap Connahs Quay Nomads Football Club.

To conclude the evening one of the main awards of the evening was presented:

The Brian Morris Nomad of the Year Award:

The winner of this accolade was club secretary Trevor Green. For all Trevor’s work this season as club secretary, as well as coming to all first team games, he also attended a number of reserve and academy games on top of a new twelve hour a day job this year. His biggest achievement however was gaining the club its domestic license for the first time in 3 seasons in his first year back at the club, allowing the club back into the Welsh Premier.

A big well done to all Nomads players, from under 10s right through to first team as well as all academy, and senior coaches and staff.

A big thanks goes out to all committee members and those who help out at all home games for reserves/under 19s and firsts.

Of course none of this would have been achieved without the backing of Gary Dewhurst of gap Personnel, for which the club is continuously appreciative.

Most importantly a big thank you to all the fans and supporters of the club for their ongoing support.

We all look forward to the 2012-2013 season in what will be another great test for the club
