Halifax prop Chris Birchall wins the Dave Valentine Award for Senior Team Player of the Year after his displays in the recent European Nations Cup while A Team Player of the Year and the David Rose Award goes to Fife Lions’ Andy Brown, who also won his first full cap in the win over Wales. Rose was one of eight GB players honoured at a reunion parade at the Great Britain v Australia test at Wigan on Saturday.
Scotland’s first try-scorer against Wales last month, Glasgow Bulls winger Andy McPhail, wins the Roy Kinnear Award as the best Student Player after a record-breaking season for the 22-year-old from Napier University. It is hoped that Roy's grandchildren - actor Rory and TV producer Kirsty - will present the award.
Winger Dougie Flockhart from Dumfries progressed rapidly during the season, earning selection for Great Britain Students and receives the Alan Tait Award as top Under-19 player, while the best Under-15 player was Davie Crangle of St Ninian’s High School in Glasgow. Crangle was selected for the Great Britain national camp and receives the Nathan Graham Award, named after the retiring Scotland captain.
