We looked back on a memorable season last week, announcing the awards from the 2019-20 season which concluded at Exeter Chiefs in the semi-finals of the Gallagher Premiership.
It was clear to see a togetherness from this team last season, especially after the restart with some exceptional performances ensuring Bath’s playoff spot.
This togetherness and development should fill supporters with pride and excitement for what is to come, as players return to Farleigh House this week for pre-season.
Ruaridh McConnochie and Tom Dunn received two awards each, with both England Internationals picking up the major awards of the night too. McConnochie picked up the Players’ Player of the Season, being voted by his peers for another superb campaign and local lad Dunn was awarded the Supporters’ Player of the Year to top off a career defining season for the recently capped England International.
Both Ruaridh and Tom were exceptional throughout the season and thoroughly deserve their accolades, with both players expressing their thanks to team-mates and supporters - available on the Club Instagram account.
