Award Highlights at Portsmouth Rugby Club
Welcome to the hub for everything award‑related at Portsmouth Rugby Club. Whether you’re curious about the player of the season, the community service trophy, or the newest club honours, you’ve landed in the right spot.
Each year the club recognises the hard work and talent that keep the team moving forward. From on‑field feats like try‑scoring streaks to off‑field contributions such as volunteering at youth clinics, the awards celebrate all the ways our members make a difference.
What Awards Do We Offer?
We keep the list simple so fans can easily spot their favourites. The main categories include:
- Player of the Season – awarded to the player who consistently delivers the best performances.
- Young Talent Award – highlights a rising star under 23 who shows huge potential.
- Community Champion – recognises the member who goes above and beyond in local outreach.
- Coach’s Choice – a special nod from the coaching staff for dedication and leadership.
These awards are voted on by teammates, coaches, and sometimes fans, which makes the results feel genuine and inclusive.
How the Winners Are Chosen
First, we gather stats from every match – things like tries, tackles, metres gained, and clean‑sheet minutes. Then the coaching team adds qualitative notes on attitude, teamwork, and improvement. Finally, a short online poll lets club members cast their vote.
The process is transparent: we post a summary of the voting breakdown on our website after each ceremony. If you’re wondering why a particular player got the nod, the breakdown shows exactly what impressed the voters.
Want to be part of the voting? Just sign up for a free club account, and you’ll receive a link to the poll when the season wraps up. It only takes a minute, and your voice helps shape the club’s story.
Seeing the awards in action adds excitement to the season’s end. The ceremony is usually held at the clubhouse after the final match, with a relaxed vibe, a few drinks, and plenty of photos. It’s a great chance to meet players, thank volunteers, and cheer on the next generation.
If you missed a past ceremony, you can catch highlights on our video page or read the full write‑up in the club’s monthly newsletter. Each article gives a quick recap of why the winners mattered and what they plan to achieve next season.
Keeping track of award winners also helps you spot emerging talent. For example, past Young Talent Award recipients have gone on to earn professional contracts abroad. That’s why many scouts tune in to our awards night – they see who’s ready for the next level.
Got a question about the awards? Drop us a message through the contact form, or swing by the club office on match day. We love hearing from supporters who want to know more about how the honours work.
Stay updated by following our social feeds, where we post live updates during the ceremony and share behind‑the‑scenes moments. That way you’ll never miss the excitement, even if you can’t attend in person.
In short, the award section of the Portsmouth Rugby Club site is your go‑to place for celebrating the people who make our club great. Bookmark it, check back after each season, and join the conversation about who should be honoured next.

What does the 6 nations rugby man of the match receive?
The 6 Nations rugby tournament has established a Man of the Match award, given to the player who has made the most outstanding contribution during the game. The winner of the award receives a unique 6 Nations trophy, a bottle of champagne, and a 6 Nations cap, signed by all the captains from the tournament. The Man of the Match is chosen by the referee, who takes into account the player's performance, their team's performance, and the overall result of the game. The award serves as a prestigious recognition of the player's skill and dedication to the game.
