Youl Mawene takes the accolades at Northends annual Players Dinner..............

What a season it has proved for Youl Mawene after falling out of contract at Derby the Frenchman turned down a move to Leicester and headed for Deepdale to help bolster a much needed defence.

Having impressively played in all Northends games this season, a total of 49, Mawene has managed to put in solid performances scoring 2 goals and only picking up 5 yellow cards.

So at this years awards ceremory for the players it probably came as no surprise that the Frenchman would pick up a few awards, but to collect 4 from a possible 5 is pretty impressive in his first season.

Mawene went home with Fans Player of the Year, Players' Player of the Year, SMS Fans Vote (as voted for by the fans at the end of every game) and the Community Icon Award.

The 5th major award on the night went to top goalscorer Richard Cresswell with 20 goals so far this campaign he won Goal of the Season.

Other awards on the night went to long serving not to mention PFA Championship Player of the Season Paul Mckenna and Graham Alexander for joining an elite list of players and notching up 300 apperances for Northend.

All in all a very successful season for Preston has been reflected in the awards, as BBC Radio Lancashire have announced that Youl Mawene is their Player of the Season to.
