Everyone at Lowestoft Town FC would like to pass on our congratulations to Chris Bond as it was announced on Saturday that he has been chosen as the Suffolk Volunteer of the Year in the England Football and McDonalds Grassroots Football Awards.

The Judging Panel was led by Suffolk FA Football Development Manager Matt Stebbings and included the following:

Matt Stebbings – Suffolk FA Football Development Manager
Amy Grantham – Suffolk FA Non-Executive Director
Richard Wall – Suffolk FA Honorary Life Member
Jamie Le Grice – McDonald’s Operations Manager
Laura Spooner – Active Suffolk Senior Development Officer (Health & Wellbeing)
Clem Turner – Winner of the 2021 Coach of the Year Adult Award

'Bondy' has been instrumental in helping to build our Academy structure to what it is today and we all thank him for all of the hard work and effort he has put in so far.

Matt Stebbings said: “This year’s awards were once again full of fantastic work our grassroots footballing community take on week in week out.

“Each nominee was outstanding in their own way, which made each decision harder to make. Congratulations to all the nominees, our highly commended recipients and also our winners who will be put forward to The FA national awards.”

Chris will collect his award later in the year at the Suffolk FA Awards Ceremony.

Well done Chris.
