Some Interesting Winners in the Championship?

Actually I don't have a problem with Tony Miller getting his award - he's done a good job at Donny.

Well done to Jono and Clive of NWC. Well deserved recognition.

I think Miller as coach of the year is more a 'lifetime achievement' award type choice. I'd've had John Kear. Paul Cooke would've been my POY. ?club of the year' always seems a bit nebulous. Not sure why Fax won it.

3 out of 4 Award in the Championship 1 Wales Crusaders; a reflection of the success and passion at the club. Very well don to Clive Griffiths leading the team to the Nothern Rail Bowl and League double. Congratulations to Jono Smith on Player of the year pushed all the way by Andy Moulsdale, another nominee in the same category. Tom Johnson was also nominated in Young Player of the Year. The accolade of Club of the Year is one for everyone at the club to enjoy from the CEO, the Directors, the coaching staff, the support staff on and off field, the groundskeepers, the volunteers and ballboys who help out on matchdays and the supporters who came through the turnstiles in their hundreds. So very proud to get this recognition.

[Number 7]

Well said gogledd, and total agreement from me.

Everyone involved with the NW Crusaders this year should be rightly proud of the achievements made both on and off the field.
