Monday night saw Ospreys players, staff, commercial partners and supporters come together to recognise individual and collective achievements across the season.

On a busy night at the Liberty Stadium, senior, age grade, wheelchair and women's players were honoured for their performances over the last year, with Bradley Davies, Dan Evans, Jeff Hassler and Owen Watkin among those picking up awards.

Three new Ospreys in the Community awards were introduced for the first time, with Tondu RFC named Community Club of the Year, Coleg Cymunedol Y Dderwen winning the Community School of the Year and Ospreys player, Lloyd Ashley, picking up the Community Player of the Year award, recognising the player who goes above and beyond in the name of community engagement.

The prestigious Osprey of the Year award went to kit-man, Shaun Mcauliffe, while the final presentation of the night saw Ospreys president, Geoff Atherton, become only the third ever recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, recognising his service to Swansea RFC and the Ospreys, on and off the field, for more than half a century.
