[specky92]

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, Im sorry for my lateness, before I left my home tonight I was practicing my speech in front of my dog, I refused to leave until he gave me a standing ovation, it took a while.  ;D The following award is the specky92, most improved award, The player about to receive this award came off a very mediocre 2012 season being a mid 70s average player, But he worked hard on his football over pre-season and has come out as an improved player showing just how valuable he can be, bumping up his average up to 100!

I am proud to announce the winner of the specky92 award for season 2013,

Lachie Henderson!

[KoopKicka]

A round of applause as speck and Lachie take their seats.

Coach KK steps up to the mic and announces the 9 & 10 of the Spinking Medal

10  Liam Picken

Liam hasnt set the world on fire this season, but he has been Kathmandus Mr. Fixit, tasked with filling the holes of our midfielders absences, and as a result, hasnt played as many games as others on this list. He was seemingly a long shot for the top 10 before this round, sitting in 14th, but 14 votes in the final round catapulted him to sneaking inside the top 10. Well done Liam on a solid season.

9 Cyril Rioli

The season that couldve been for Cyril, he started the season on fire and was leading by a mile after round 5. Unfortunately he then got injured and didnt recover until a few round ago; the votes he received in the final round ensured his place in the top 10. Next season dont ping your hammys again yeah?



All parties take their seats, there is a commotion at the back of the bar as ele is sighted taking swigs from Jack Daniels bottles! He is quickly ushered back to his seat screaming  That Jukes will be dead by morning

Everyone awaits the next award.

[KoopKicka]

Coach KoopKicka steps up to the mic again, he apologises for the lateness of all this, apparently something went wrong with the printing press and meant that - ; and " couldnt be used in copies and pastes. :o

Anyway, he says

"The Coaches award is something awarded by both speck and myself, it goes to the player that we can count on week in week out to do their bit for the team, whether that be pump out a massive score or just keep us in the game. They can often be the shining light in a game.

This years award goes to....
Dan Hannebery!

Dan was also involved in delivering donuts to the coaches office before training, ;)

[KoopKicka]

Coach KoopKicka steps up to the mic in an attempt to get back onto their time schedule.

He says

"here are the next batch of Spinking Medal Places"

8  Paddy Ryder



Paddys slow start to the season and 4 week suspension ultimately cost him a higher placing. When he played however, we as electrifying, consistently polling and was instrumental in Kathmandus round 12 win over Mongolia. Needs to shake injury to help Kathmandu next season.

7 Lachlan Hendersen



Lachie started off as being mediocre bench cover, however he has blossomed into the owner of the D2 spot and is loving life there. Lifted his average immensely in 2013. We hope for another season like it in 2014.

[KoopKicka]

Dan was also involved in delivering donuts to the coaches office before training, ;)

Horrifying scenes as KoopKicka is sighted taking a backhand at specky. specky tries to retaliate but his ugly date calms him down.

[KoopKicka]

Coach KoopKicka surprisingly adopts a stilted walk and a scowl to his face as he stands up to the mic.  One player can be sighted shifting down in his chair, due to the bright lights we are unable to identify him.

KoopKicka then yells absurdly into the microphone to the bodyguards to eject the man who had shifted earlier. A quick ID check reveals its none other than Chad Wingard! The horrible player who sought a trade to Tibet at the end of last season. He is quickly escorted to a waiting limo and driven to the top of Mount Everest and flung off.

Coach KoopKicka take a sip of water, then speaks

"The Spud of the Year award doesnt necessarilly go to the lowest averaging player, it goes to the player who has underperformed the most in a season, this player has had an abysmal season after being head-hunted from KL. We hope that naming the award after him might encourage him to bloody pull his finger out next year."

With an abrazen tone, KoopKicka yells into the mic...

"Lewis Jetta ya dirty flog, get up here ya barbie."


Jetta skulls up to the stage to get his award then goes back to his table to sulk alongside Kieran Harper, Lewis Stevenson and Dom Barry.

[KoopKicka]

KoopKicka and Speck walk up to the microphone, awaiting the audience who are busily stocking up on drinks and nibbles.

After a while everyone is seated. KoopKicka clears his throat and starts to speak,

" The Sherpa medal is a medal awarded to the most consistent player in the team for the year. This person not only has been consistent beyond all reason but has upped his average by a bit as well."

"The unexpected general of our backline this season, it is our pleasure to announce none other than..."



Michael Hibberd!

[Adamant]

Who saw that one coming. :P

[My Chumps]

Excellent read so far Koop. Keep it up  8)

[KoopKicka]

Coach KoopKicka steps up to the mic again.

"The are the next batch of Spinking medal placees"

6 - Ben Howlett



" Ben Howlett started the season on fire, but dropped off spectacularly towards the end of the season, even getting dropped in the last few rounds. If he works on his consistency he will be a valued contributor for years to come!"

5 - Tendai Mzungu



"Tendai's form in the second half of the season ensured he nabbed a top 5 placing. Has been a hard-working utility for the whole season. Not missing a game. Still has a few years left in him and we will hope that he continues to produce in everyone of those years."

4 - Michael Hibberd



As aforementioned, Michael has taken his game to a new level in 2013. Upping his average significantly and developing some killer consistency" Will be the general of the backline for years to come"

As the playes receive their medals and head back to their seats. Jake Neade suddenly bolts on from side of stage followed in hot pursuit by Kieran Harper shouting "Give me back my first team position you dog!" KoopKicka just shrugs and steps up to the mic and says "well, who knew potatoes could run?"
