Mon Sep 15 2014

On Saturday evening, the Yorkshire Rams held their annual awards evening at the Grosvenor Casino in Leeds. Celebrating the end of a winning season (having finished with a 5-4 record) which including victories over local rivals Sheffield Predators and Doncaster Mustangs to claim the title of “Yorkshire’s Number One” and a victory in the “War of the Roses” in a downpour at the Lancashire Wolverines.

It was a successful night for Adam Cowley, who took away Overall MVP, the Coaches Defensive MVP and retained the “Ram of the Year” title that he won in 2013. Joe Cavalier beat Cowley to the “Maniac of the Year” award, which is an impressive feat but wholly deserved.

Linemen Adam Lilley, who scored his first TD in his 10th season, and Tom Greenwood were also winners, alongside running backs Alex Hughes and Elliot Jackson. Chris Lawton, with his 12 interceptions, claimed the Defensive MVP.

The full list of winners were as follows:

Overall MVP: Adam Cowley Offensive MVP: Alex Hughes Defensive MVP: Chris Lawton

Coaches Offensive MVP: Thomas Greenwood Coaches Defensive MVP: Adam Cowley

Rookie of the Year: Elliot Jackson Lineman of the Year: Adam Lilley Ram of the Year: Adam Cowley Maniac of the Year: Joe Cavalier

The Rams will soon be back for the 2015 season and will hope to build on the winning record and make a push for the playoffs which were just out of reach this season.
