Performance awards have new kings

November's EVO-STIK Northern Premier League Club of the Month Awards went to three new recipients on Monday with Barwell, Warrington Town and Spalding United unveiled as the latest winners of the performance accolades.

First Division South Spalding United will be the first of the clubs to presented with their award on Saturday when EVO-STIK NPL operations manager Alan Allcock and a representative of Bostik Ltd, parent company of the league’s title sponsors EVO-STIK, will present the club with a 4.5 litre bottle of Bells Whiskey and an inscribed certificate to mark their achievement before kick off against Coalville Town at Sir Halley Stewart Field.

The Tulips under manager Pat Rayment are up to fourth in the table with games in hand after four wins from four in the league over a November that also included hammering Mickelover Sports 5-1 in the Doodson Sport Cup.

Premier Division winners Barwell have also been climbing the league and are up to seventh under the guidance of manager Jimmy Ginnelly after winning three of four league outings last month.

They've also got games in hand over all the clubs above them after a run in the FA Trophy that saw them win away at Stamford AFC and Curzon Ashton before drawing 1-1 with FC United of Manchester on Saturday in the competition's third qualifying round.

Barwell, who also overcame Carlton 4-0 away in the first round of the Doodson Sport Cup, will be presented with their award by EVO-STIK NPL representative Mark Ogley and a representative of the sponsors before they kick off in either league or FA Trophy action at Kirkby Road on Saturday 13 December.

Warrington Town will collect the First Division North accolade on Saturday 20 December for their exploits in the FA Cup and the epic 1-0 televised win in front of millions over League Two Exeter City at Cantilever Park on Friday 7 November.

The cup heroes also won three and drew one of five league outings to clinch this month's honours from Ramsbottom United and will be presented with their award by EVO-STIK NPL Respect manager and vice-president Phil Bradley and a representative of the sponsors before kicking off against Bamber Bridge on Saturday 20 December.
