Celebrations were held at Tuesday night’s East Riding Chairman’s Awards for the winners, including one from Driffield
David Pinder, who manages Driffield Junior Football Club, took an award for individual service to the community at the awards ceremony at The Spa Bridlington.
He said he was very pleased to receive the award, which he said is also for all the people who help with junior football.
“It is absolutely lovely – it is nice to get an award for something you really enjoy doing,” David said.
During his time managing the club, which began as a one-year stretch and has now lasted over six years, he has not only acted as a team manager but has qualified as a FA coach.
Dave works with 20 nine and 10 year old boys attending training once a week. Over the last three years he has built a very successful football team in the Driffield Jaguars, and the new team the Tigers is establishing itself well.
The awards ceremony was one of the last official events to be hosted by Councillor Chad Chadwick in his capacity as Chairman.
Other individuals, companies and community groups were recognised for being the best in the East Riding across a range of categories.
Coun Chadwick said: “It became very apparent from reading the many nominations received that there are many individuals, groups, businesses and organisations that create opportunities.
“They are not people ‘simply doing their jobs’ they are people with vision who go the extra mile and apply their sense of creativity and commitment to make a difference.”
