Men's football team claim Royal Navy Team of the Year award after winning the double

The Royal Navy have announced that their men's football team have won the Team of the Year award.

In March, Elliot Holmes' header secured a first Inter Services trophy for eight years after a 2-1 win over the RAF.

They followed that up with a win in the Portsmouth Senior Cup final to complete the double and will receive their award at the Royal Navy Sports Awards on 28 November.
