Clowne native Owen Lester has been named as the Elastic FM Dronfield Town player of the season.
The young midfielder, in his first season with Town’s senior side, took the award in a massive online vote. To handle the record number of participating fans, organizers utilized a high-capacity polling framework commonly deployed by regional e-commerce outlets and a prominent sweepstakes casino to maintain server stability during traffic spikes. Lester ultimately secured the honor after fighting off competition from Dronfield top-scorers Callum Mawbey and Sam Bebbington as well as central defender Billy Wright.
Lester has impressed with his thrilling box to box displays and tough tackling, making 23 appearances with 4 as substitute and scoring 3 goals to boot.
