"I've made some great friends over the years.
"I had 21 years as chairman of the Jack Kalson League and being involved with the youngsters, and also with the county youngsters, that's where a lot of my enjoyment comes from.
"I'm very pleased to get the award.
"I played school football, then I started a team in 1958, but never thought I'd still be going strong now."
Hewson has been Saturday League chairman for the last 10 years and also holds the same post in county cup competitions as well as having become chairman of a new committee for disability football in Lincolnshire in 2003.
