NEWLY-CROWNED National Premier League (NPL) champions Hazard continued their rich vein of form by claiming the lion's share of the prizes at Monday night's Wray & Nephew National Premier League awards ceremony at the Pegasus Hotel, New Kingston.
In all, the club which dethroned Arnett Gardens at the National Stadium on Sunday, claimed a whopping 18 prizes - four in the Under-21 category and 14 for the NPL.
Beaten Under-21 finalists Tivoli Gardens also claimed four awards in that section while Harbour View earned the other available award for Fair Play.
No team, other than Village which got four scoring prizes, won more than one award outside that category among the seniors.
Record-breaking Roen Nelson, whose 86th minute goal decided the championship game 3-2, led the Hazard prize feast with four individual presentations.
Chief among them were the Player of the Year award, supplemented by two top scoring awards for the first and second preliminary rounds, progressing to the leading goalscorer's award with 30 goals, four more than Oniel Thomas' previous 1995-96 benchmark.
Nelson got a trophy for winning each division, as well as $50,000 for the leading scorer, $25,000 for Player of the Season and $20,000 for both preliminary scoring titles.
Hazard's Tyrone Sawyers won the Junior Player of the Year award while Hazard's coach Lenworth Hyde and captain Claude Davis, along with Village's Fabian Dawkins, each scored a double.
Hyde won the Coach of the Year ($30,000 and trophy) and winning coach ($20,000 and trophy) presentations, Davis was the finals round MVP ($20,000 and trophy) and winning captain (trophy and $10,000).
Dawkins was rewarded for scoring the most goals in the third round ($10,000 and trophy), as well as for converting a hat-trick.
Hazard earned $1 million, trophies for each player and gold medals for winning the title, $500,000 plus a trophy for scoring most points in the preliminary round, $100,000 and a plaque for being the Best Defensive Team and $50,000 plus a plaque for scoring the most wins.
There was one major award for dethroned Arnett Gardens whose goalkeeping captain, Julian McLeish, received the Tony Burrowes Player/Personality of the Year Award - a trophy plus $100,000. This was decided by a media vote.
Sponsors Wray & Nephew honoured technical director Carl Brown and former national Howard 'Juicy' Bell for the contribution to football, while special awards were made to former referees Ken Chaplin, Clarence Cooke, Carl Stewart and Winston Taylor.
