Fair play to November's winners

Stocksbridge Park Steels, Warrington Town and Market Drayton are all looking forward to picking up their Jungledrum Fair Play Awards after being crowned November’s best behaved teams.

The three clubs topped their respective division's Jungledrum Fair Play tables, coming out on top after a totting up of red and yellow cards divided by the number of Evo-Stik NPL fixtures they’d played during November. Where clubs are tied on points judges decide on the basis of marks awarded by referees over the month for Technical Area behaviour.

Each month winning club receives an inscribed Jungledrum Fair Play Award certificate recording their achievement and a 1.5 litre bottle of Famous Grouse Whiskey.

Evo-Stik NPL Premier Division Stocksbridge Park Steels won the top flight’s honours after picking up just three cautions in four games.

The Evo-Stik NPL First Division North accolade went to Warrington Town who struggled on the discipline front for most of last season and the beginning of the current campaign but appear to have turned things around with just two cautions in five games during November.

Evo-Stik NPL First Division South Market Drayton Town won their first ever Jungledrum Fair Play Award with just a single caution in four matches over the month.

Competition for the Jungledrum Fair Play Awards isn’t limited to monthly honours. Come the end of the season all three overall divisional winners will receive a cheque for £1000 courtesy of the sponsors Jungledrum with the runners-up receiving £500 and the third place clubs £250.

Stocksbridge’s three cautions in four games during the month not only won them the Evo-Stik NPL Premier Division's November award but also catapulted them up to seventh in the overall table from 15th.

FC United of Manchester are still leading the table from AFC Fylde who didn’t incur a single card in the two league games they managed to fit in. The Coasters overtake last month’s second placed Nantwich Town who drop to third. November’s third and fourth placed teams Ilkeston FC and Blyth Spartans drop out of the top five.

In Evo-Stik NPL First Division North Harrogate Railway took over the lead in the overall table after only three cautions in six matches with Trafford moving into second and Clitheroe down to third. All three have the enviable record of averaging less than one caution per game.

Market Drayton’s honour for November also sees them take overall leaderboard despite stiff competition with no fewer than five clubs all averaging 1.07 cautions per game or less.
