Pettit named player of the year at Wisbech Rugby Club’s presentation night
TALENTED scrum-half Will Pettit was among the winners as Wisbech Rugby Club sealed a rollercoaster of a season with their presentation evening.
Pettit was handed the first team’s player of the year award for his role in Wisbech’s heartbreaking season, which saw them relegated by just a point.
The scrum-half had been a standout performer throughout Wisbech’s safety battle, scoring a scintillating hat-trick of tries in their win over Norwich.
Chris Newns won players’ player of the year while Andy Heighton was named as the first team’s most improved player.
Second team player of the year was Josh Anderson, with Ryan Tate picking up their most improved player award.
