AFC WIMBLEDON END OF SEASON 2016-17

This weekend is the final game of the season in League One and it's a home fixture for AFC Wimbledon who will host Oldham Athletic to bring the curtain down on another successful season in our short history. During our first season in League One the Dons spent most of it comfortably in mid table and a nice home win over the smelly Franchise experiment was a highlight. Sadly being dumped out of the FA Cup to non league Sutton United wasn't enjoyable neither was missing out on possible ties with Leeds and Arsenal either. However looking at the season as a whole finishing 15th in the table on 57 points it's another improvement on previous years and consolidation which I am in favour of while the biggest challenge is OFF the field with the continued wait for a return to Plough Lane and a new stadium almost sorted. 

The club's end-of-season awards will be made at our last home league game of the season, against Oldham Athletic on Sunday 30 April, hopefully that is more exciting than the boring 0-0 draw we just witnessed.

As always there will be two main awards which will be decided by the fans vote.

The WISA 'Allen Batsford' Player of the Year award was won last season by Paul Robinson (pictured here receiving his award). 

This year’s winner will be the latest in an illustrious line that stretches back to Kevin Cooper (Mk I), who received the inaugural award on the pitch at Molineux in 2002. 

The 2017 winner was announced as -- Tom Elliott.

The Young Player of the Year will receive the Natalie Callow Memorial Trophy, donated by the Womble Underground Press, and won last season by Adebayo Azeez. For this award, you can vote for any of the following players who have featured in the first-team this season and who were 21 or under on 1 August 2016.

The contenders for this award are as follows:

Jayden Antwi

Alfie Egan

Will Nightingale -- WINNER. Well done Will. 

George Oakley

Seth Owens

Well done to all the winners and we will see who is around when we come to kick off next season.
