NWJL Footballer of the Year 2016

By Steven Doherty

THE boots are back in the garage for the summer. The sunshine has appeared and cricket and the GAA are in full swing, so it can only mean one thing - the soccer season has come to an end. It’s been a great year for the North West Junior League with plenty of thrills, spills and bellyaches.

Ardmore returned to winning ways, winning the Premier League, the League Cup and the Matt Morrison Cup. Draperstown Celtic are the Division One champions while Dromore sped home fastest in a dramatic race for the Division Two title.

Elsewhere Lisahally retained their City Cup while Ardmore Reserves lifted the Supplementary Cup.

And now it’s time for an individual award. We at the Derry News are looking for your North West Footballer of the Year for the 2015/16 season.

Foyle Wanderers’ star man Robbie Godfrey is our reigning POTY having received some serious backing this time last year and is once again in the running this time round. Ardmore’s Calvin McCallion received the most nominations by far but will the public back the deadly striker?

North West football fans have been sending in their nominations and with players coming from all three divisions we have 12 players up for consideration.

Voting will conclude this weekend!

Here are the nominations for the Derry News NW Player of the Year. Vote now!
