Of course each season there are many teams that I consider for the award, and this season was no exception, but I believe that there were a couple of managers, who again shown the qualities that I look for in a recipient of the award. Firstly, I am always amazed that managers can more swiftly up the rankings and achieve at a top level, and this season no one exemplifies this more than donkeysaint, who played a great WCC at the top level...well done mate. Secondly in simIlar vein Flying Circus manager mandacus....performed very well in the Plate, and had some great wins...and some very close matches.....which I believe shows great skill and commitment So I am proud to announce this season's Iorwerth Awards go to; WCC XXXV IORWERTH AWARDS Auckland Katipos R.F.C. - Manager donkeysaint Flying Circus - Manager mandacus As mentioned last season, I decided to introduce the WCC RFS Sportsman Award, in honour of one of the WCC Founders manager RFS.
