IAN McClelland and Paul Waine won the top awards at Bacup Borough's end of season presentation evening at the weekend.

Defender McClelland held off Waine and Stuart Farnell to win the Players' Player of the Year for the NWCL Division Two side.

But Waine picked up a trophy - collecting the Managers' Player of the Year.

Club Player of the Year, sponsored by Q-Tex, went to Shaun Cryer for his willingness to travel from Sunderland University for midweek matches.

The Most Improved Player, sponsored by Rhodes and Co solicitors, was won by Damon Gledhill while Jason Lanns held off a late challenge by Paul Fildes to win the Leading Goalscorer award, sponsored by Imperial Cleaners.

Both Peters and secretary Frank Manning received special awards for their hard work behind the scenes while several backroom staff were also recognised.

Commercial manager Deborah O'Connor, Ken Peters, John Henry, Glyn McCutcheon, Janice Peters and Natalie Crankshaw were thanked for their services.

And loyal fans Jimmy Brown, Elizabeth Brown, Julie Brown and Frank Hudson were rewarded for travelling home and away to follow Bacup.

And Bacup have appointed a new reserve team boss. Former North West Counties League referee Barry Ward, who was forced to retire with injury, has linked up with Peters at West View.
