THE end of season awards evening for the Ely Tigers youth teams marked a highly successful year for the club.

On top of a host of awards for the club's best and brightest there was also a series of exhibition matches including a parents versus coaches match, which was narrowly won by a marauding parents side.

A club spokesman said, 'We would like to say a big thank you to the commitment and effort of all of the children that have played this year and the support shown by all of the parents.

"Recognition of this effort was winning the fair play club award at the recent Rugby Festival in which all teams competed so well."
