Worthy winner of the AW Trophy 2020
Great to start 2021 with some good news at Mellor Lacrosse and congratulations to Eddie Liles, this year’s winner of the Amy Whitehead Award. Created as a lasting memory of Amy, the award recognised kindness, resilience and competitiveness – something Eddie has in spades.
Eddie epitomises why we created this award – when we needed players to go on loan to other clubs he was the first to raise his hand, when injured he still turned up to watch his team-mates in games and at training, despite missing out on Metros, Eddie plugged away and rightly won a place on the England Talent Pathway and, to top it off, he’s there on remembrance Sunday leading the way with his Trumpet! Congratulations Eddie, you’re a credit to the club – Amy would approve!
