Lions Trio Honoured

England star Rachel Unitt has been named Nationwide International Player of the Year.

At The FA Women's Football Awards held in London on Friday, the Everton left-back collected her prize, which was voted for by visitors to TheFA.com.

Unitt has been an ever-present for Hope Powell's team this season as England topped their World Cup Qualifying Group with two games left still to play.

In the nine games played since September, England have remained unbeaten and Unitt has also scored once in February's friendly match with Sweden.

Rachel's England team mate Kelly Smith was also on the receiving end picking up two awards. Her 18 league goals for Arsenal was enough to secure the Umbro Top Goal Scorer award for the National Division, while her peers also chose her as Nationwide Players' Player of the Year.

Karen Carney, another England star, also won an award. The Birmingham City winger was named The FA Young Player of the Year reward her loyalty to the Blues through troubled times last summer and helped them in their fight against relegation.

At international level, she has now earned 18 caps after only making her debut in February last year.

Other notable awards went to Andrew McNally who is the Nationwide Manager of the Year after guiding Blackburn Rovers into the National Division, remaining unbeaten in what was only their second season in the Northern Division.

Newcastle United were honoured as the Nationwide Club of the Year. They reached the Quarter-Final of The FA Women's Cup in their first season in the Northern Division and finished eighth in the Northern Division.
