Presentation night

Our presentation night is a celebration of the season recently finished. Whether or not teams have won trophies is unimportant. What is important is that the players, coaches, managers, parents and everyone else involved have enjoyed the season.

Every player is awarded a token to commemorate their season with Comets; those players that have served seven seasons with Comets receive a long service award. There are awards within every team for the most improved player, manager's player and players' player.

This year's presentation took place at Longdean School on May 31st.
