No fewer than two individual honours weer picked up on Monday while five Parisians were named in the top-flight team of the year.

Best goalkeeper: Christiane Endler
Great on her line and commanding in the air, the Chile international seems to be at her peak at 27. She has made a major contribution to the side having the second-best defence in the league (13 goals conceded in 20 games). Nominated alongside teammate Katarzyna Kiedrzynek (who she shares game time with and who is in the team of the year) and France and Olympique Lyonnais goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi, Endler was handed the award by legendary Paris Saint-Germain Handball goalkeeper, Thierry Omeyer!


Young Player of the Year: Marie-Antoinette Katoto
A repeat for the Paris number 9, who also picked up the award last season.Up against Lyon's Selma Bacha and Metz's Léa Khelifi, the prolific France international's 18 top-flight goals this season were a major reason behind her retaining the honour. 

Marie-Antoinette Katoto speaking to Canal+Sport: "I'm very happy to win this award for the second successive season. I would like to thank my family, my club, my teammates. My aim is to as well as last year in terms of goals scored, that would be good. The World Cup with France? I'm ready."
