Josh Keeley and Jamie Donley had their successful loan spells at Leyton Orient recognised at the weekend, picking up five awards between them at the club's end of season awards night.
Josh picked up three awards on the night. Starting with the Leyton Orient Supporters' Club Young Player of the Year Award, he was honoured by the club's fans after he secured 16 clean sheets in 36 games - keeping a clean sheet in 44.4 per cent of the league games he played.
He also went over 660 minutes without conceding in all competitions, a run that lasted across seven matches in League One and the Vertu Trophy.
Those returns were also enough for the Republic of Ireland youth international to pick up the Leyton Orient Supporters' Club Merit Award.
The 21-year-old scooped up his third and final accolade of the evening by taking the award for Goal of the Season, fending off competition which included team-mate Jamie.
He made headlines back in December when he scored a 99th-minute header to level an FA Cup tie with Oldham Athletic at Brisbane Road.
The O's went on to win that tie before Josh produced more heroics in a penalty shootout with Derby County to set a glamour tie with Manchester City in round four.

Jamie was also recognised for his outstanding season - one that saw him record the highest number of assists in League One across the campaign despite not arriving in E10 until after the season had already started.
He picked up two significant awards, earning the Young Player of the Season while he was also voted Player of the Season by the Orient supporters.
Alongside his incredible assists record, the forward also bagged eight league goals of his own which included a prolific run of four goals in five games across December and January.
He also scored a stunning goal against Manchester City in the FA Cup, firing home with an audacious effort from 35 yards out - enough to give Richie Wellens' side the lead against the Cityzens at the time.
JAMIE DONLEY. THAT'S INCREDIBLE. 🤯

The boys still have at least two games remaining in their spell with Orient after securing a play-off spot with a top-six finish on the final day of the League One season, thanks a dominant 4-1 win over Huddersfield Town.
They host Stockport County on Saturday (10 May) at Brisbane Road, before travelling to Edgeley Park for the reverse fixture the following Wednesday (14 May), with the aggregate winner over both legs progressing to the final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 25th May.
Congratulations on your awards lads, and good luck in the Play-Offs!
