DE BRUIN WINS NORTHERN STARS 2017 PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Congratulations to our major award winners from the Northern Stars and High Wire Trust Northern Comets 2017 Awards Evening

An intimate but special function was held at the home of the Stars and the Comets, the High Wire Trust Gymnasium. Several of the Stars and Comets sponsor family attended along with a number of players and management partners and family members. It is the one chance to thank them for all their support for the season.

Players were presented with inaugural player certificates and medals. Being the first players for this new team is a special milestone. The major awards for the evening were presented by David Hopkins, CEO of High Wire Trust, a reluctant hero for both the Stars and the Comets!
