The Hatfield Band recently held its annual award evening. Affectionately referred to as the 'Stans' the awards were a mixture of formal and informal honours in recognition of individual and collective achievements.

Awards

The 'Young Player of the Year' was presented to Nigel Kennedy, whilst the 'Most Improved' award went to Will Parker.

Claire Taylor was the 'Player's Player', with Pete Tombs the 'Bandsperson of the Year'. The Ken Johnson Memorial Shield for outstanding service went to Robert Brown, whilst the keenly anticipated 'Best Section' went to the front row cornets.
