Second
year Petroc student
eighteen year old Joe Wren from Tiverton, also a former Tiverton High
School
pupil, received the ‘Chris Vinnicombe Cup,’ awarded and presented
by Tiverton Town Football Club’s new manager and Petroc’s Football
Academy coach, Chris Vinnicombe, as the ‘player of the year’.
Petroc
first year student
seventeen year old Ethan Pavey from Cullompton, a former Cullompton
Community
College pupil, received the ‘Golden Boot Award’ as the top goal
scorer from Football Academy Manager and Petroc sport lecturer Ben
Broyd.
Ben said: “The Football
Academy has been extremely fortunate to have Chris Vinnicombe coaching
the team
for the last four years. We are so lucky to have such inspirational
footballing legends supporting our team and honouring the players in
this way.
“Petroc
has an ongoing
partnership with Tiverton Town Football Club and that partnership has
gone from
strength to strength, especially now with Chris appointed as their new
manager,
and luckily for Petroc, Chris is able to combine both roles.
“Exeter
City player Adam
Stansfield has had a long association with the area and he’s a great
role
model as a footballer. His current battle with illness has reflected
some
of his on field qualities.
“It
was great for our
players to meet Stanno and to give up his personal time particularly
while he
is recuperating from ill health - just shows the measure of the man.
“We
all wish him a speedy
recovery and we look forward to see him playing next season at St
James’s
Park.
“We
would also like to wish
Chris the best of luck in his new role as manager of Tiverton Town FC.”
