Libby Isaac and Bethan ‘Cheeks’ Roberts were the big winners at the Aberystwyth Town Women end-of-season awards which also saw honours given to both of the club’s youngsters that Impetus sponsor.
Coaches and players picked out those they felt deserved recognition for their efforts during the season – and the trophies were awarded at a lunch at Harry’s Bar in Aberystwyth yesterday.
Isaac – unable to attend the ceremony – was named Players’ Player of the Year. Usually, a forward, she shifted to defence midway through the campaign after injury ravaged the backline, and proved herself a classy centre-half as well as a major attacking threat.
Midfielder Roberts, the manager’s player of the year, was reliably consistent all season, and an instrumental part of the Seasiders’ run to the semi-finals of the FAW Women’s Cup and the Genero Adran Trophy.
Emily Thomas, celebrating her 19th birthday on the day of the awards – picked up two trophies, young player of the year and sharing top scorer with Amy Jenkins.
The Impetus-sponsored duo Modlen Gwynne and Ella Thomas, who made their first-team debuts as 15-year-olds this season, picked up prizes for their contributions to the under-19s. Modlen was announced as the U19s Players’ Player of the Year, with Ella rewarded as the most improved player of the year, as well as the top goalscorer award.
