RESULTS may be the be all and end all for some in the professional game, but so many clubs at Non-League level are at the heart of their communities, carrying out so much good work that often goes unheralded.
IT’S the annual announcement which can only mean one thing. The return of the National Game Awards signals the start of what can be best described as the business end of the season.
THE LEAGUE title. The club’s golden boot. A place in the Evo-Stik Team of Year. An historic first goal at FC United’s Broadhurst Park home and now a National Game Award.
