Scott Devlin with Combination president Tim Darwin

Top Scotts

Scott Devlin is Jersey’s Footballer of the Year with Scott Quarrell picking up the Division Two award.

Jersey Scottish centre-half Scott Devlin is Jersey’s new Footballer of the Year.

"I’m a bit stuck for words at the moment!"
Scott Devlin

He picked up his award at a lunchtime ceremony at the Pomme D’or Hotel, beating team-mate Ross Crick and St. Peter’s Dominic Maher, who were the other two Nominations.

And to say he was suprised would be an understatement. "“It was a shock to me to get nominated in the first place, so I’m a bit stuck for words at the moment! I thought Ross would have had it in the bag. To win it with the players we have over here is a great honour.”

Scott Quarrel won the Division Two award, completing a great season for champions St. Ouen. Matt Scriven (St. Clement) and Phil Helleur (Sporting Academics) were also nominated.

Kathryn Porter beat off strong competition to win the Ladies Footballer of the Year title. The Jersey Wanderers player was up against Nina Woods (St. John and island captain) and Krystle Matthews (St. Clement and island goalkeeper).

It was a second win for Ian Solomon, who won Referee of the Year against last year’s winner Marc le Cornu and Andy Norman.

The sponsorship cheques for good sportsmanship saw Magpies win the Gold Award, picking up £1,871.53.

The Silver went to Jersey Wanderers, with the club receiving a cheque for £1,315.76. The Bronze award was shared between the two clubs who battled out that memorable Championship play-off, St. Peter and Jersey Scottish.

The fifth highest award went to Beeches, while First Tower were 6th.

One of the highlights was the referees special award for an outstanding act of sportmanship. Marc Le Cornu awarded this trophy to Richard Hebert, whose Wanderers junior side, when faced with only 10-man opposition, reduced his own side from a full complement of players to match the opposition.

The Awards ceremony was changed this year, with the sponsors Coca-Cola and Cimandis wanting the normal extra costs of a gala evening put to grass-roots use instead.The ceremony was followed by a buffet and then a screen presentation of England’s opening World Cup clash with Paraguay.

What about Vincenti? I thought he would of at least been in the top 3 but fair play to Devlin. He has had a good season!

Speaks volumes for the Div 2 winners attitude. This is the second time he's not turned up to receive his trophy! If people bother to vote for you should bother to turn up!

Good friend of Bobo's.
Well done to Scott Devlin as he had been outstanding for the Jocks in the last 2 seasons,just hope now that he puts pen to paper and signs for the Jocks again.

Great to get this news on the same day! Thought it was Crick's turn to be fair, but Devlin also good choice. Where's Quarells photo??
