ST HELENS Town collected two awards at the North Western Trains League presentation night at the Palace Hotel, Buxton.

They lifted the Division One fair play award for the first time.

And John McKiernan's matchday programme, Marksman, received the best overall publication for the fourth time in six years.

With the new season just five weeks away, Town are back in training, and have five home friendlies lined up.

They meet league opposition twice in Wigan Athletic and Macclesfield Town.

The sequence opens with Southport's visit on Wednesday, July 21 (7.30), while Leigh RMI and Tetley Walker complete the list of Hoghton Road warm-ups.

Numbers drawn in the club's Lucky Six Lottery were 1, 5, 7, 9, 12 and 15. One winner, Mrs Burrows, of Sutton, receives £700. This week's jackpot stands at £500, drawn from numbers 1-20.
