In recognition of his many years service to Monmouth Juniors Football Club and the East Gwent League, Nick Oxford has been presented with an engraved tankard by secretary Derek Harris at the league AGM.

Nick has, alongside with his management of senior teams, taken a group of boys from under 6s to the under 16s.

The team achieved cup victories last year and were league runners-up this year.

Junior secretary David Walker said it had been an absolute pleasure working with Nick over the years as he commanded a deep respect from the players and his fellow managers at the Junior club.

This type of recognition was well deserved for the hours of volunteer work junior managers put in at the club.

His co-manager Steve East also deserves praise for producing a junior team that was respected and admired for the great football they played.
