Neil's Notes v Batley : Mon Sep 03, 2012 9:00 am
Well we finish the league matches how we have played most of season. Not for the faint hearted being a Fax fan. Cerainly if you want excitement Halifax is the team to follow.Just a shame we miss out on scoring difference for 2nd but 3rd is ok and gets the playoffs under way on Thursday at the Shay when we play Keighley with another home game the following week should we progress.The final voting for the Shay Lounge Player of the Season saw Makali Aizue first with 3 points, 2nd with 2 points was Luke Ambler and the 1 point went to Craig Ashall.
That did not effect the final placings for the season with Ryan Fieldhouse first with 16 points with Adam Robinson and Dane Manning joint second with 8 points. Joint 4th were Sean Penkywicz, Anthony Thackeray and Sam Barlow on 6 points. Thanks go to Halifax RLFC Players Association for sponsoring the Shay Lounge Player of Season.
Presentation will be made to Ryan, Adam and Dane on Tuesday night 4th September at the Shay Banqueting Suite along with all the other Player of Season awards to U-18's, U-23's and 1st team. Admission is free and doors open at 7.30 with the awards approx 8.30.
The Hitman award also sponsored by the Players Association went to our scrum half Anthony Thackeray. He made 2 crucial tackles in the first half and was well up in the tackling department along with his contribution in attack. Craig Ashall was another contender for his tackle alone in the last 10 minutes when he tackled the man over the line and gave us the platform to create the winning score.
Paul O'Hara was on hand to present the award to Anthony.
The final draw for Club 1873 saw the main prize for the season which was a 2013 season ticket. The winning number was 146, Mike Hanson. Well done to Mike and all the other winners throughout the season. Watch out in December for details of Club 1873 for 2013 which believe it or not will be our ninth season.
The half time draw winning number was 9086 for £269.
