Semesa Rokoduguni clears up at the Bath Rugby awards

Wednesday, May 4th saw players, staff, sponsors and everyone involved in Bath Rugby come together for the club's annual end of year awards evening. With a host of prestigious accolades up for grabs, the efforts of one man stood out above the rest.

Winger Semesa Rokoduguni has enjoyed a blistering season of strong form in Somerset, and has caught the eye throughout despite the underachievement of the club itself.

The 28-year-old Lance Corporal and reconnaissance tank soldier of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards in the British Army saw his work for the Blue, Black and White duly rewarded with a hat-trick of honours.

While form has wavered for Mike Ford's side this season Rokoduguni continued scoring tries for fun, dazzling the masses at the Rec with his scintillating wing play. 

'Rocco's' first visit up to the stage saw him take the limelight as Top Try Scorer of The Season, both a predictable and a thoroughly deserved honour.

The England international had barely taken back to his seat before his name was being called again, this time as winner of Best Back of The Season, fending off competition from fellow nominees Chris Cook and Matt Banahan.

A mere five minutes later and Rokoduguni had completed the hat-trick, scooping the prestigious Player's Player of The Season, awarded to him on stage by Sir James Dyson.

Rocco took the opportunity to thank his team mates and coaching staff for the help and support throughout the 2015/16 Premiership season, along with an acknowledgment to those players and personnel moving on from the club at the end of the campaign.

It's the triple for @rocco3225! Our Fijian flyer has been voted Players' Player of the Season.
