Success for Evo-Stik NPL clubs at awards

Rushall Olympic's matchday programme has been recognised as the best in the league by Soccer Club Swap Shop.

The awards, which recognise the best programmes in non-league football, saw the Pics receive fifth place overall. Stafford Rangers were voted as having the second best in the Evo-Stik NPL Premier Division, while Mickleover Sports finished third.

Witton Albion pipped AFC Fylde to the D1N gong, while Sheffield FC beat Ilkeston FC in D1S and also grabbed 12th overall - the second best placing for an Evo-Stik NPL club.

Speaking to the Evo-Stik NPL webiste, Rushall representative Peter Attersmith said, "We are very pleased to gain this award as a lot of hard work is put into an 88 page programme that shows our sponsors logo at least thirty times in every programme, and we would like to thank the league for the use of the information on his weekly round up which without doubt has helped us to keep our programme with up to the minute information on our league."

Former Evo-Stik NPL clubs Boston United and FC Halifax Town came 7th and 10th overall respectively.

The top five overall for non-league were as follows;

1st - Chelmsford City (Blue Square Bet South)
2nd - Marske United (STL Northern League)
3rd - Epsom & Ewell (Cherry Red Records Combined Counties League)
4th - Leamington (Evo-Stik Southern League)
5th - Rushall Olympic (Evo-Stik NPL)
