Doncaster Rovers manager Sean O'Driscoll was special guest at Barnsley Metrodome on Wednesday evening (26th May) to present awards at the Sheffield and District Sunday League Under-14s Presentation Night, which covers all of South Yorkshire including Doncaster.
The league, one of the biggest respective leagues in the world, celebrates its 40th Anniversary this season and has teams from Under 7's to Under 16's.
The League became a FA Charter Standard league in 2010.
Sean, whose own team took the Coca Cola Championship Fair Play Award this season, started by presenting a Fair Play award to Rotherham side Whiston Wildcats and went on to present awards to twelve other clubs from across the county for each division at under 14 level.
League secretary and Doncaster Rovers fan, Nathan Batchelor commented:
"It is very much appreciated that Rovers are supportive of grassroots football across South Yorkshire and we thank Sean O'Driscoll for taking the time to attend the U14's presentation evening."
The league has held eight presentation evenings each year at the Barnsley Metrodome, with around 800 people attending each night. Previous guests presenting trophies this season have been referees Howard Webb and Uriah Rennie and former Sheffield United star Tony Currie.
