There's certainly a feel-good factor reverberating around Anfield at the moment, and that was again in evidence on Wednesday night as Liverpool FC hosted their Ability Counts programme end of season awards at the stadium.

A total of seven teams gathered in the Shankly Suite as medals were handed out following another triumphant season across all age groups, while a lucky handful were presented with the Player of the Year accolade for their personal achievements over the course of the campaign.

The Ability Counts programme is part of the club's Respect 4 All disability centre, which provides an opportunity to play football to those who are visually impaired, physically disabled, have severe learning difficulties or are wheelchair users.

However, the scheme also has a competitive edge with teams taking part in regional, national and even European competiton - to great success.

LFC disability football development officer Mark Bygroves said: "It's the end of season awards night for the Ability Counts squad, which is the competitive aspect of our disability structure called Respect 4 All.

"Ability Counts is an opportunity for everyone to get together, make real friendships and to play competitive football. The Respect 4 All programme is all about getting people to take part when previously they never had, whereas Ability Counts is a bit more competitive and provides the opportunity to play in teams and compete in cup competitions and leagues.

"We have seven Ability Counts teams - four adult teams, an U16s team, an U12s team and a girls' side. Tonight was a celebration of their achievements as well as the Player of the Year awards.

"And there has certainly been a lot of achievement over the season. For example, the D Side won the European Cup, the domestic league and the Cup.

"But there has been individual achievement too. A number of our lads have represented England and there have been a lot brilliant friendships formed."
