More Awards for Newcastle duo

Newcastle skipper Alan Shearer, and young hero Jermaine Jenas helped Newcastle to 'walk' the North East Footballing awards this week.

Alan Shearer won North East Player of the Year, adding to his PFA Player of the Decade award.

Shearer also won the "Goal of the Year" award for his superb volley against Everton at St James's Park. The goal was described by Shearer as the 'sweetest strike' he can ever remember.

Jermaine Jenas who last week picked up the Professional Footballers' Association's Young Player award won the North East Young Player of the Year award, beating Shola Ameobi and Craig Bellamy.

Out rivals Sunderland have a few things to celebrate too. Their Austrian international goalkeeper, Jürgen Macho won the Save of the Season award for a save against Liverpool at Anfield, and since Boro Reserves only drew with Newcastle reserves, Sunderland won the Reserve League - But that was luck!
