Mini makes his Mark
|
Mark Ramsay - Cowden's player of the year |
Midfield dynamo Mark 'Mini' Ramsay was the main man when the annual Blue Brazil awards ceremony was held at the Cross
Guns public house in Cowdenbeath.
A packed audience, including chairman Donald Findlay and manager Jimmy Nicholl, erupted into tremendous applause
when Mini was named as the winner of the coveted "Players Player of the Year" trophy.
He also collected the "Best Individual Performance" award for leading the amazing four-goal comeback at Stirling and
also the "Goal of the Season" trophy for a spectacular overhead kick which was applauded by everyone in the ground at Greenock.
Mini said he was a wee bit miffed he did not collect the "Top Scorer" trophy as well, claiming he was only one goal
behind with several games yet to be played. Still, he was all smiles when the raffle was drawn as he lifted three of
the major prizes in that as well.
Greg Stewart collected the leading scorer prize as well as the "Young Player of the Year" award while veteran assistant
manager Colin Cameron took the Junction Bar "Star Player" trophy.
One of the biggest cheers of the night was reserved for Craig 'Toorie' Winter, picked as the Cowden Supporters Club "Player
of the Year" based on the weekly votes counted at every game, home and away.
Toorie is a previous winner of the fans trophy - a mere 13 years ago - and has been a star man in several different positions
during the season.
Finally, the "Supporter of the Year" award deservedly went to Alex Haddow for his tireless efforts on behalf of the club throughout
a difficult season.
Fans back the new Cowden 100 Club
The new Cowden Supporters 100 Club has been
successfully launched but there is still plenty of places left for anyone who wishes to help secure the future of the Blue
Brazil.
The new initiative gives supporters the opportunity
to contribute and help raise ongoing funding to promote and assist the operations of Cowdenbeath Football Club and safeguard
its future. This club could potentially raise £12,000 per year and pay out £1,800 in prizes, with all profits directly benefiting
our Football Club in the longer term.
The remaining places are up for grabs
so, if you haven't done so already, please sign up now. It is your club so play your part - don't rely on others. Rise to
the challenge!
There will initially be 100 shares available (but the number of shares
can be increased beyond this in time if agreed by the Committee). The cost per share would be £120 per annum, payable by 12
instalments of £10 per month or a single payment of £120. These payments would be made monthly by standing order. Members
must commit to a one year minimum period.
Every month a draw would take place with a member winning a prize of 15%
of the total monthly subscription. The draw would be held on or about the last day of each month in the presence of three
Committee members - where possible at a home game. Members present at the draw and prizewinner will be listed on the CFC official
website. The prize will only be paid to members whose subscriptions are fully up to date. A committee on
behalf of the membership was elected comprising of John Anderson, Dave Hutchison and David Allan who will manage the 100 Club
funds.
Application forms and standing orders can be obtained from any member of
the 100 Club committee or from the office at Central Park. Please phone 01383 610166 or email office@cowdenbeathfc.com for
further information.
