WORCESTER City held their annual presentation evening at Sixways Stadium to celebrate the achievements and contributions of players, staff and volunteers throughout the 2025/2026 season, writes Stan Mills.
The club handed out a number of awards to individuals across the first team and to those who play a role behind the scenes of the club.
And one of these awards went to first-team top goalscorer Dan Sweeney.
Sweeney netted 13 times in the previous season, helping City to a ninth place finish as the club just missed out on a play-off spot.
Young centre-back Josh Bailey cleaned up, winning the supporter’s player of the year, player’s player of the year and young player of the year awards, presented by Worcester chairman Steven Goode.
The sponsor’s player of the year award, presented by Martin Pinches, went to Logan Stoddart, with club person of the year, presented by both Simon Lancaster and Chris Cornes, awarded to Tim Harris in recognition of his continued and outstanding contributions to Worcester.
Club person of the year, Tim Harris, presented the special achievement awards to winners Logan Stoddart, Liam Lockett, Elliot Hartley and Kyle Belmonte.
Charlie Lutz claimed the club owner’s player of the year, presented by Sarah Lancaster while Dave Wood presented the club’s volunteer award to Rob, Martin and Andrew on behalf of the wider volunteer team.
Dan Sullivan and Rich Bray presented Tyresse Sabanda with the pathway player of the year award.
Chris Cornes presented the penultimate award of the night, with his manger’s player of the season award going to towering centre-back Charlie Wise.
Cornes also received a special achievement award presented by Kristie Grady.
The player’s player of the Year, presented by event sponsor Worcester City Bathrooms, went to Bailey in his first season for the club as the defender scooped a hat-trick of awards.
Several under-18’s players were also recognised for their performances this season as Tate Wood won the manager’s player prize, Liam Mubaiwa won the player’s player award, Owen Bourne won the parent’s player award and Louie McLean took the top goalscorer prize.
