Town were named as winners of the Fair Play Award for the Premier Division of the league in addition to ace marksman David Kolodynski's divisional Golden Boot success at the 2008-09 end of season gala bash.

Valley's fair play achievement comes hot on the heels of the announcement that the Rugby Town Junior FC had not had a single FA complaint against parents, officials or players throughout the whole of last season.

Club Director Mike Yeats - who accepted the shield alongside Club Secretary Doug Wilkins - was delighted to receive the prize.

He said: "This award reaffirms that throughout all levels of the club, we try to play the game in the right spirit - namely a competitive but ultimately fair one.

"The first team have obviously conducted themselves in a disciplined manner this season, and it's great to see the RTJFC sides following this example too."

Kolodynski's triumph came after he notched 26 goals in Southern League competitions, a total which left him four clear of his nearest challenger - Gloucester's Alex Sykes.

The Golden Boot award rounded off a great season for the Rugby-based youngster, who has worked his way up through the ranks of the club over the past seven years- playing for the junior section, the youth and reserve teams, before claiming a regular spot in Tony Dobson's starting eleven in 2008-09.
