MARK Tipton won the manager's player of the year award when Malvern Rangers held their presentation evening on Friday.

The venue was the home of their main sponsor, the Cross Keys Inn, and the evening was well supported by players, family, friends and some of the club sponsors.

Other awards were made as follows: Kelvin Williams Memorial Trophy: Martin Philpotts; Clubman award: Graham Yapp; Players' player: Neil Bond.

Two additional awards were made this year, firstly to Sam Black for being top goal-scorer with 33 goals in 34 matches.

The final presentation was made to Ann and Reg of the Cross Keys, a pair of crystal brandy glasses on an engraved wooden base as a thank-you for their support.

The club holds its annual general meeting at the same venue on Wednesday, June 29, at 8pm.
