The UniBond “Fair Play” awards for April have gone to WITTON ALBION, ROSSENDALE UNITED and KIDSGROVE ATHLETIC respectively. Albion’s record of just one caution in four games cemented their place at the top of the Premier Division Fair Play table although surprisingly for an overall season winner it was the first occasion they had lifted a monthly award. The £1,000 winners cheque added to the £3,600 for finishing league runners-up will be some small consolation for them narrowly missing out on promotion for the second successive campaign. GATESHEAD took second place in the Fair Play table and pocketed £650 whilst GUISELEY in third took home £350 thanks to finishing 0.01 of a point ahead of Matlock Town

NEWCASTLE BLUE STAR won the £1,000 first prize in the First Division North whilst Rossendale’s April award lifted them to second overall and £650 at the expense of WOODLEY SPORTS who had their hitherto good record blighted by a poor April to finish third overall which cost them £300. Kidsgrove’s third monthly award of the season enabled them to overtake QUORN in the race to the First Division South £1,000 prize with WARRINGTON TOWN picking up the £350 for third spot in the final overall season table.

Something to be very proud of. It proves you can be successful without kicking the opposition to death. Yes, I know we did not win promotion, bu no one can deny it was a good season, we got 89 points from 40 games.
WHS.

Something to be truly proud of. Several times in the past seasons if the club wasn’t actually fined they have been warned as to their future conduct. Again therefore another example of how things have improved on the football front the past two full seasons.

Well said. Absolutely something to be proud of and of huge credit to all the players and management. Our disciplinary record has been superb this season and shows you can play high quality football without being dirty in the process.

Yes, fair play to all concerned.

Although I suppose we should give ourselves a pat on the back, especially after our recent history of discipline, I would rather finish bottom of the fair play league and get promoted. Perhaps we are too “nice”?

Gateshead were 2nd and went up, so it is possible to be fair and gain promotion!
