Seaton Rangers were able to celebrate a hugely successful first season in the National Conference League.
Despite just missing out on promotion there was plenty to feel pleased about at their annual awards evening in the clubhouse.
Special guest on the night was former Leeds, Hull and Great Britain star Garry Schofield who presented the awards.
Peter Gilmour, the Seaton chairman, said: “Our first season in the NCL didn’t quite have the story book ending but the commitment put in by the players and coaches and our off-field volunteers to exceed all expectations was incredible.
“To win the NCL Fair Play award and raise £9,500 for Jack’s Journey children’s cancer charity showed what we as a club are all about.
“As chairman I couldn’t be any prouder of what we, as a club, have done in 2022.”
