CJB COACH OF THE YEAR 2024

It is with great pleasure that we can announce that the joint winners of Coach of the Year 2024 are Glenn Reid and Jon Palethorpe, of CJB’s U14s Hornets.

We received 17 nominations for 10 coaches; a lot of work was put in by the nominators and the judges had a difficult choice to make. But they were unanimous in their decision. They noted that the nominations showed that Glenn and Jon encouraged “a positive environment, building confidence and team spirit, fair game time and simply letting the players enjoy themselves”.

The other nominations were also very good, and the coaches are clearly doing wonderfully in promoting the CJB coaching philosophy, developing youngsters and building a fun environment.

Thanks to all those, coaches and parents, who took the time to send us nominations.

The judges were Tim Bedford (CJB Chairman), Shawn Clitheroe (CJB Welfare Officer) and Oliver Couch (CJB Vice-Chairman) and the awards were presented by Dan Stothard (CJB Secretary).
