The presentation will take place at half-time of England under-21s versus Moldova in the European Championship qualifier on Tuesday night (8pm ko).
The club will represent the East Region at the national awards later this year.
It just gets better for the club as they will also be playing at a new home from next season - the St Ippolyts Recreation Ground.
