Tranmere Rovers enjoyed a successful evening at the North West Football Awards ceremony on Monday.

Veteran centre-back and current captain Peter Clarke was crowned EFL League Two Player of the Season after an outstanding campaign.

The Birkenhead club also won ‘Best club marketing, sponsorship or engagement campaign’ for their ‘Designed for you, by you!’ initiative, in which supporters were invited to put their creative skills to good use by designing the club’s new first team home kit.

Speaking after the awards, Clarke said: “A massive thank you to everyone involved at Tranmere Rovers, and certainly the Super White Army, for their support throughout my time at the club.”

In another step forward for the club, the Mayor and Mayoress of Wirral conducted the formal opening of the new 3G pitch at The Campus, Tranmere Rovers’ training ground in Leasowe, earlier this month.

The state of the art, all weather playing surface is not just for use by the club but also accessible to the public.

The construction of this pitch is part of Wirral Borough Council’s strategy to address the demand for 3G pitch facilities, with Wirral being recognised as an area needing improvement in respect of the provision of grass roots football pitches.

Although officially opened by the Mayor on Monday November 10, the facility have been in public operation since September 1 and is already fully utilised in peak hours with the community and local organisations, clubs and schools all feeling the benefits.

Tranmere Rovers Chairman, Mark Palios, said: “The speedy construction of this quality facility is another example of swift delivery by the club, which benefits the local community and is made possible through our partnership with Wirral Borough Council.

"The pitch was delivered on time and within budget, notwithstanding the impact of the pandemic."
