Steve Tully's Manager's Player of the Season went to Shane White, who also came back up for the Players Player of the Season.
Tulls also took the time to say a big thank you to the Chairman for giving him the last 10 games of the season as manager and feels in that time that the club has moved forward and the aim now is to return it to being a Conference South club where it deserves to be and he, along with assistant Wayne Carlisle, will be endeavouring to attract players of that standard to the club as the aim is to move the club forward.

Second team manager John Peters was also present and pleased to say that his improved team are still looking for at least a top six finish in the SWPL Division One West this season.
He gave a thank you to the chairman for his support, as well as to his management staff of Robin Watt, Steve Flack and Vic Osborne and also mentioned that the support from the first team has been fantastic.
He confirmed that the aim is to get the team out of the Division One West, if not this season certainly next season before announcing his teams awards.
These were : Players player - Frazer Cadman
While the Management's award from the four of them went to a player who never misses a training session and is always amongst the first to arrive for a game : Scott Palmer.
The Young Player of the Year went to 16 year old Kieran Parker.

Onto the Chairman's Player of the Season and in line with the supporters choice this went to Cody Cooke who Peter Masters described as a player who always gives a 110%, and in his opinion has the right attitude for the game and is a credit to his parents. There wasn't much more he could add that hasn't already been said about the player over the last couple of seasons, except he wasn't too complimentary about his glass collecting!

Finally to the TISA (Truro Independent Supporters Association) awards. These were announced by their Secretary Simon Birch, who firstly commented on how fantastic for them it had been to yet again support the team in their travels and they were very much looking forward to the next few seasons and the feeling was really positive.
The TISA's Player of the Year was Cody Cooke, with the TISA Supporter of the Season being Paul Condon.
Their Raffle prize - a signed Barry Hayles shirt - was won by Brian Thompson.
