THE MORGAN TROPHY

for

FEMALE PLAYER OF THE YEAR

 

This new Trophy is presented by the Morgan family by way of thanks for all that Havant RFC has afforded the entire family in terms of opportunities both on and off the pitch for the last quarter of a century!

 

It will be awarded annually to a female player who has contributed significantly to the club on or off the pitch, or has done much to raise the profile of the female game.

 

This year's recipient was not available to receive the award on Saturday, and so it was presented to Amelia McPhee on her behalf. Amelia founded the girls' sections following an Active Sports initiative in 2004. The trophy will be awarded to the nominated recipient at the Dinner and Dance in May.
