Jay Chapelhow and Pat Moran receive the July and August ‘Brian Walker Awards’
The close of the successful 2024 season brought due recognition for the forwards when Jay Chapelhow and Pat Moran were the recipients of the July and August ‘Brian Walker Award’.
Jay went in for surgery on a wrist injury which ended his season after the Midlands match at Boundary Park on August 4th but he had already got the nod for the July award after a tremendous first season in Oldham’s colours. His award cheque was donated to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital Trust.
Pat Moran became the first player to win the award twice after already picking up the the honour in June 2023. After missing some of the early part of the season through injury, Pat has played consistently well since coming back into the team in mid-June in the Roughyeds march to be champions and gain promotion. Pat’s donation went to the St Rocco’s hospice.
