Fair play champions Dabbers honouredZoom
Jimmy Quinn was all smiles on Saturday as his Dabbers picked up their Jungledrum Fair Play Award.

Nantwich Town were crowned the Evo-Stik NPL Premier Division’s best behaved outfit last week when the first Jungledrum Fair Play Awards of the campaign were announced and Saturday saw the official presentation at the Weaver Stadium.

David Lunn of Jungledrum and League representative Mark Ogley are pictured presenting Quinn and Dabbers Chairman Jon Gold with the first award to be handed out, the pair picking up a bottle of Famous Grouse Whiskey and an inscribed Jungledrum certificate recording Nantwich's achievement.

Clitheroe won the Evo-Stik NPL First Division North Jungledrum Fair Play Award and are due to collect their award on Tuesday night.

Evo-Stik NPL First Division South Kings Lynn won their division’s honours and will be presented with their award on Saturday week when they play Northwich Victoria.

The three clubs scooped their honours after topping their respective division's fair play tables. Each came out on top after a totting up of red and yellow cards divided by the number of Evo-Stik NPL fixtures they’d played during August and September.

Nantwich won with an average of just 0.89 points from nine games played, their nearest rivals coming from Blyth Spartans and FC United of Manchester with 1.00 each.

The awards were made after the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League entered into a three year agreement with Jungledrum in August to reinforce the league’s reputation as one of the most forward thinking in English football by supporting fair play and the Football Association’s ongoing Respect campaign.

Marketing and advertising specialists Jungledrum harness their online expertise to open new income streams for the league's clubs while securing fans money saving deals. Jungledrum's David Lunn is delighted that the first winners are being honoured after starting work this season helping clubs to boost their finances.

He said: "The team at Jungledrum are delighted to sponsor these awards. Jungledrum is all about delivering a fair deal for fans, for clubs and for businesses so helping to promote fair play among players and clubs by sponsoring the league’s fair play awards is another fantastic opportunity for us.

"Every club in the league now has its own Jungledrum page and, as the season progresses, we will be working with every club to bring more fantastic offers and promotions to supporters and give a boost to local businesses and the clubs themselves."

Clitheroe, who pick up their award on Tuesday before taking on Trafford at home, can also lay claim to be the league's best behaved outfit after winning the Evo-Stik NPL First Division award with a score of 0.50. Their nearest rivals were Lancaster City on 0.57.

In Evo-Stik NPL First Division South Kings Lynn Town won with a rating of 0.57, with another team new to the Evo-Stik NPL, Gresley Rovers, close behind on 0.67 along with Mickleover Sports.

The Jungledrum Fair Play Tables will soon be available throughout the season via a hyperlinked logo on the league's official site. For more information on Jungledrum and the work they are doing to open new and no risk income streams for Evo-Stik NPL clubs visit jungledrumdeals.co.uk.
