East Leigh A.F.C. Awards 2025/26 🏆❤️💙
Tonight was a very special evening for everyone involved with East Leigh A.F.C. as we held our first ever Club Awards event.
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part in the nominations, helped put the evening together, and came along to support. It was fantastic to see so many club members together, enjoying a drink, having a chat, and celebrating the people who make East Leigh what it is.
As with any first event, we learned a few things along the way and we’ll look to build on it and make it even better next year. But more than anything, tonight showed the strength of our club community and the incredible volunteers who give so much of their time.
A special thank you also goes to Plank Lane Joinery & Conservatory for proudly sponsoring the East Leigh A.F.C. Volunteer Awards. Their support helped us recognise the coaches, committee members, helpers, and behind-the-scenes volunteers who make such a big difference across the club.
Volunteers are the heart of grassroots football. Their dedication creates opportunities for players, supports families, and helps build a real sense of community.
Congratulations to all of our nominees and award winners. Every one of you should be immensely proud.
