Presentations rolled into one!

The three clubs were named as the latest fair play kings at the EVO-STIK NPL’s Conference Day at Stockport County’s Edgeley Park before being presented with the accolades by EVO-STIK NPL chairman Mark Harris.

As well as collecting inscribed certificates to record their achievements, they also headed home with a bottle of Pol Roger champagne each to toast their success in supporting the FA's Respect campaign and the EVO-STIK NPL's own efforts to promote sportsmanship and fair play.

Handed out every month after a totting up of red and yellow cards divided by the number of fixtures played, clubs must play in at least four league fixtures to qualify for the compeitition. Where they are tied on points the winners are chosen after the marks awarded by referees for behaviour in the technical area are taken into account.

In the Premier Division, Stourbridge head the overall but Stamford's new manager Graham Drury has certainly made his mark since taking over at the Zeeco Stadium last month, the Daniels emerging as the top flight's best behaved side for their three cards in three outings that saw them record a disciplinary average of 0.60.

EVO-STIK NPL First Division North leaders Northwich Victoria also extended their lead in the fair play stakes, Jim Gannon's side taking November's laurels with the best disciplinary record across the entire league of just 0.17 for their single caution in six outings. Vics chairman Derek Nuttall is pictured collecting their award.

Rugby Town lead the overall EVO-STIK NPL First Division South table but Lincoln United are up to third after Dave Frecklington's side collected a single caution in four fixtures to post the division's best disciplinary average of 0.25. Lincoln United chairman Malcolm Cowling is pictured collecting their champagne and certificate.

* 2015 was another award winning year for the EVO-STIK Northern Premier League after it was named as the best behaved competition in the top levels of Non-League football for the fifth time in six years.

Premier Division play-off winners Curzon Ashton also completed a ‘Respect double’ at the Football Association’s 2015 Fair Play and Respect Awards when they were named as Non-League’s best behaved club to continue the league's monopoly of the individual club accolade.

The Nash's triumph saw an EVO-STIK NPL League club win the FA’s National League System Step 1-4 Respect and Fair Play Club Award for the sixth year in a row since the accolades were launched, John Flanagan's men following in the footsteps of inaugural winners Garforth Town in 2010, Lancaster City in 2011, AFC Fylde in 2012, Nantwich Town in 2013 and Skelmersdale United in 2014.
