The next award was for Swindon Supermarine’s leading goalscorer in 2022/23 and with a total of 39 goals the winner of course was Harry Williams! Harry received his award from guest speaker Rory Bremner and club chairman Jez Webb and again another bottle of Moet champagne.
By now I think most of the audience were asking themselves, I hope Harry likes champagne?
