It was a memorable night for Brocton FC at the Midland Combination 2010/11 season presentation evening as the Badgers scooped more awards than any other club. In the event held at Walsall’s Bescot Stadium, the highlight for Brocton was the golden boot award to Gary Fife for the highest scorer in the Premier Division and overall the five divisions with 46 league goals. They were also awarded three Hospitality awards for both senior and reserve teams, voted by each club in their respective divisions, but were also awarded the Stan Mansel Hospitality award voted by the match officials for the Premier Division. Brocton also picked up the Team of the Month ‘Overall’ Award for April/May. (more and photos at http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/broctonfc/news/brocton-scoop-awards-at-the-mi-324108.html)
