The event was attended by players, coaching staff and other members of the football fraternity.

Lions were capping a fantastic season where they qualified to the second-tier league by winning all three matches in the Middle League playoffs.

They beat R-Stake FC 3-0 and followed it up with the 4-1 thumping of Emmanuel FC and the final match against Photizo ended in a 2-0 victory.

Here is a run down of all the award winners on the night.

Abdul Sameed Adams
Goalking of the Year:

Abdul Sameed Adams: The diminutive man banged in the goals and for the Middle League he had three to his credit including the double against R-Stake FC.

He was also third best in the poll for the Players' Player of the Season.

Afriyie Asante voted Players' Player of the Season.
Players' Player of the Year:

Kofi Afriyie Asante: The enterprising left back was consistent throught out the season and rewarded by his teammates for his assertive performances.
