Men's first team forward Lee Hoggett picked up a trio of awards last night at the highlight of the BHC social calendar hosted at the Swan Hotel

It was a prolific season in front of goal for Hoggett so he led the mens scoring charts with 21 goals whilst also bagging the players player vote and Mixed player of the year too. Meanwhile Emma Pinny won the Durham award for the overall Ladies Player of the Season for the second time and Alex Drummond the equivalent award for the men.

It was a terrific evening with the Men's 5's celebrating winning East Div 9SW in their first season with president and team captain Rob Oakley tipping many of the youngster for National League honours in the coming years. The future certainly looks bright with a number of new youngsters joining the club this season with Tom Stewart and Martha Haslam awarded Young Players of the Year whilst Taylor Bland and Abigail Norris were rewarded for huge developments in their games this season with the Most Improved awards. Abi had not played hockey before she joined BHC and was one of a number of new players on the ladies side of the club which will allow a 6th team to play competitive league hockey next season.

Off the pitch, the annual awards also provide the opportunity to say thank-you to a number of volunteers. Tracy Lawrence was recognised with the Deb Weiland trophy for 5 years as team captain as well as a number of other roles within the club whilst Tarsem Chagger received the BHC tankard for services to the club for 36 years of service as a BHC pool umpire.
