Table-topping Leigh Centurions scooped four of a possible five awards at the Championship’s end-of-season dinner in Manchester last night.
Stand-off Martyn Ridyard won player of the year, while half-back partner Ryan Brierley won young player of the year for the second season in a row.
The Centurions were named club of the year and foundation of the year, too.
Just as his side prevented Leigh from going unbeaten in the league, Doncaster boss Paul Cooke stopped another perfect record by holding off Paul Rowley to take the final gong of the night – coach of the year.
In Championship One, York stole the headlines. Hooker Jack Lee won player of the year while Ben Reynolds and James Saltonstall shared young player of the year honours. Former Knights boss Gary Thornton, who was sensationally sacked this week, won coach of the year.
Gloucestershire All Golds were named the third tier’s club of the year.
