With the end of the season quickly approaching we are looking for nominees for our most prestigious honours; the Lady Sykes Candlesticks and the F.R. Stallard Cup.
The Lady Sykes Candlesticks are awarded each season to a current player for their services to their club or to the game in general. Two nominees each season are selected by the committee.
The F.R. Stallard Cup is our highest honour which is given to someone who has devoted long and distinguished service to their club or the league. The caveat is that the nominee has not received a Lady Sykes Candlestick award within the past 20 years. Both honours are bestowed upon the recipients at the annual League dinner, which this year is held on Friday Nov 17th.
You can put forward your nominee in several ways:
