Pitching In Isthmian Supporter of the Year Award: South East Division

We asked all of our clubs to nominate supporters for our Supporter of the Year Awards, and for this season we gave an award for each Division. Next, we salute our South East Division winner, Steve Johnson of VCD Athletic.

The nomination should make it quite clear why we picked Steve for the prize- and we will add his photograph later, it was taken at the AGM earlier this afternoon! Instead, for now, we'll use a picture of his pitch!

‘Steve has been so helpful to us- and especially to the Club Secretary- this season, he has done a superb job in giving the team a superb playing surface.

We are a Club with a very small Committee and Steve’s efforts go way above his duties as a Groundman, which he carries out always with a smile. Nothing is too much trouble for him and he is always happy to support any of the Committee Members; he will undertake any match day duty at short notice when a volunteer is unable to make it the match. It would have been much harder for the club this season without him. He moves the beer barrels, clears the rubbish and acts as an ambassador for the Club during the day. He supports the team at all away matches, and is always happy to take some of the small following of supporters with him. If he did not transport them they would not be able to go.

The Club cannot speak highly enough of his contribution to the running of VCD Athletic.’

Congratulations Steve, and thanks for all of your efforts.
