. Pub Golf. Need I say more???? winning pub golf, general debauchery. Ringing biggane at 5 in the morning one night over xmas to see if i had a spare bed for him and his bit and finally for making a comeback this year, tough thing to do. For a record breaking 14 under in "Pub
Golf" that Tiger Woods would have been proud of. * for the drinking (and smoking!) machine that he is. |

for organising pub golf. Competent in all disciplines.... especially sneakin birds upstairs in the hotel for some "after hours" drinks. Good organisational skills w.r.t pub golf ….shame about the actual Basketball. Living legend. * organising the piss-up remembered by all bar the participants.
none of the rest of the A team deserve it. |

Just for being called the"Captain
of the Wasters" in the blitz program is enough - but also stole a
bird off liam, made an admirable comeback in the pub golf to finish second
after a slow start, not to mention leading the wasters to their first
semi-finals. * for showing up to the semi. |

came joint fourth in Pub Golf, even co-led for a brief while, and then turned up at 9.30am the following morning to put in an outstanding display of basketball - scoring 12 out of our 14 points to nearly carry us to the final. (that's one point for every golf hole - in honour of the night before of course!). Respect to The Sweeney. Definite Award material. Because he did well in the pub golf despite the fact he had to deal with the trauma of being the only one who's nickname was obvious on the shirt from a distance and the fact that he turned up and played well in the semi final. * for his golf and Great game after it. |

Really stepped up to the plate in doing the web site and tee-shirts this year. The photography was top notch - even throwing John Shanahan out of his way to take one snap. Also a solid basketball performance. The engine behind this farce. * website : we'd have forgotten everything otherwise. |

Pub Golf with 1 leg, legend! for seeing the light and finding out alcohol is not such a bad thing (kinda) and joining in a damn sight more piss ups than before (the crown in pub golf won't be mention). for keeping up on the golf. I don't think I ever saw the man drink as much as he
did on the night of Pub Golf. "Eeh Up Kev!" His best year on court since he became a spotter. for declaring during Pub Golf that "this is the most I've every drank in my life" and being proud of his ability to still talk, walk (/control crutches!), and even drink some more! |

looked liked she never saw a basketball before in her life and probably didn't - and still played. And jumped on sullies feet in the hotel. for trying to socialise with us. for risking life and limb in the hotel in an attempt to
gain votes for this award - She was told "if you jump off a stool
and drive those lethal heels through someone's feet, it'll be worth votes"
- and she did it! |

for not getting up in the basketball (lazy bastard). for being consistently messy during x-mas. for showing us that the skills we learnt colouring with markers when we were 3 or 4 can still come in handy some nites! |

for those couple of seconds in the snug when we all realised
he wouldnt be winning the pub golf. for trying to cheat repeatedly at pub golf and getting caught every time. |

Me for getting fouled out in every game (brilliance). For pettiness at not getting any recognition for coming second to Pierce Cronin. Well Done Padraig but most people don't look on defeat as something to be proud of!!! For grabbing by the balls!! |

All the men that showed their face Sunday morning after pub golf - respect! What can you say - two group games no win. They still got to a semi & lost. Magnificent. |

Honourable mentions for all of them. All of them. (For being spotterettes) |

Missing Mascot:
Questions would have to be asked about Tom Kenny's whereabouts during the blitz,
- mascot my ass!! It would be called a disgrace but Mick has that one nailed
all for himself!
No show by the Spotterettes:
Very disappointed in the amount of spotterettes that turned up to our sessions.
This will have to be rectified for next year.
Don't worry, be happy:
All of the Trainspotters should get an award for being played off the court
in all the matches but still being able to smile about it. first rule of smiling
is to smile at yourself.
