The 2009-2010 season is now well and truly over. With attention now beginning to turn to the rapidly approaching new campaign, we’re holding our annual Reserves and Youth player awards. In what’s proved to be another successful year, Steve Bould’s Under 18’s are again League Champions, while Neil Banfield’s Reserves finished second in Reserves League South.

The coaching staff will no doubt be impressed with the improvements in the various teams, but the real judgement comes in which youngsters make the first-team. Craig Eastmond was the huge surprise, stepping up from average full back to promising central midfielder while Francis Coquelin ultimately made the reverse switch. Kyle Bartley, Thomas Cruise and Gilles Sunu all made their Champions League debuts, and Jack Wilshere continued his development with more game time before leaving for Bolton.

So to the awards. There are six categories and six awards up for grabs, in different sections and aspects of the Reserves & Youth system. They were as follows;

Under 18 Player Of The Year –

Reserve Team Player Of The Year –

Loanee Of The Year –

Signing Of The Year –

Break Through Starlet For Next Year –

Overall Player Of The Year –
