Shortwood United FC enjoyed their presentation evening at the Old Lodge on Friday, and after the meal and the speeches the club recognised the long service of Simon Grant, Lee Jones, Chas Levitt and Mark (Axl) Davis and made them life members. All thoroughly deserved and a tribute to their work and ongoing support to the club, writes Jim Cunneen.
