Badgers earn their fair play stripes

Eastwood Town gave striker Tris Whitman and match secretary Paul Braithwaite the honour of picking up their Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Fair Play Award.

The Badgers won the season's inaugural First Division South award for heading the division's disciplinary table after the opening two months of the campaign.

Experienced frontman Whitman and official Braithwaite are pictured collecting the accolade at Coronation Park from League Representatives Mark Ogley and his father Alan Ogley before their clash with Coalville Town.

The first award of the season covers August and September and was won by the Badgers after their record of two yellows and a single red card gave them a disciplinary average of 0.56 since the opening day of the season.

Skelmersdale United and Lancaster City were named as the Premier Division and First Division North winners after topping their respective fair play tables.
