Nirvana member Ivan Liburd said, “Although we do not volunteer for recognition, awards such as these are important for many reasons and to many people. They reaffirm that your dedication to volunteering in your community is appreciated, and recognises the contribution of grassroots in wider environment of football.
The award is also a testament to all the young players that are involved with the club and the fantastic achievement of our senior team on their debut season in the United Counties League Premier Division”.
