Speaking about the latest nominees to come completely from the public nominations, Butler had this to say:

“Longlevens Ladies have had a fantastic season, and their season shows that teams shouldn’t be scared to take a step back in order to take a step forward.

I have been impressed with Liv this season – so much so she won the Player of the Month during the season and she has been a vital asset for Rob McGeever and his side.

Lorraine received a whole heap of nominations for being a leader and being so dedicated to the team, which is something that is evident to spectators based on how she conducts herself on the pitch.

I have sponsored Lucy this season and have been incredibly proud to do so. Since I first started watching Levens she has been the glue to keep her side together – especially during a tough last season. A great leader and role model.

Mel is a very talented footballer. She scores goals, she creates goals and can literally do it all. Her impact on the team has caused McGeever selection headaches for most of the season!

Longlevens have had a great season and they should all be proud of their title success.”

Check back tomorrow morning when we will be announcing the next batch of nominees in this year’s End of Season Awards!
