Tom Gatley - Can You Help?

I recently received this message from Tom Gatley's son, David.  Can you help him find what he's looking for?

My father Thomas Edward Gatley who died in November 1996 was treasurer of the WQL for several years. He played for St Bens. 

In 1997 or 1998 the Thomas Gatley Memorial award was given to the best person who had won nothing else. The award was made on finals night. I've been trying to find the newspaper accounts of the event but have not been successful. Do you have any newspaper cutting, photographs or similar of the event and the name of the winner? Or alternatively do you know when the finals event took place so I can have another look for the newspaper account of the event?

If you can help, please contact David at davidalangatley@gmail.com
