The accolades were spread out at Farsley Celtic's awards evening last Friday, with five players being rewarded for their commitment to the club.

But boss Lee Sinnott was keen to praise his entire squad, who guided Farsley to promotion to the UniBond Premier Division for the first time in the club's history.

They also reached the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup and were runners-up in the West Riding County Cup - beaten in the final by Conference near-neighbours Halifax Town.

"Congratulations to the winners of our clubs' awards but I have to say all the players did their bit in what was an exciting season for Farsley and myself in my first year in management," said Sinnott.

Michael Midwood ended as top scorer with 28 goals, Amjad Iqbal - who began the season on trial at Nationwide Division One outfit Burnley - was named the supporters' player of the year, while Iqbal's central midfield partner Andy Shields won the vote from his fellow players.

Skipper Chris Stabb picked up the management's player of the season and James Kilner was nominated as the young player of the year.

"The lads that have picked up awards can treasure them and it's nice to see them going to different players," said Sinnott.

"I just hope that they have all learned and improved through this season and come back after the summer break want-ing to achieve even more."

Midfielder Jeremy Illingworth picked up two prestigious awards at Guiseley's end-of- season presentation evening, but striker Dave Henry and defender Nathan Hay were also rewarded for their season's efforts.

Illingworth, in his first full season at Nethermoor and the only ever-present in the side, was the choice of his team-mates as he picked up the players' player of the year. He also walked away with the club's fair play award.

"He played in every game in league and cup and that is a fine achievement, 58 competitive fixtures over a long, hard season," said Guiseley boss Neil Parsley.

Parsley also paid tribute to supporters' player of the year Hay: "It is really pleasing for a player to know that the fans appreciate the efforts over a full campaign.

"It's the real steady Eddie's who pick up this one and that isn't a slight on Nathan's ability. It is just that you have to be in the six-and-a-half to seven out of ten rating every week.

"He conducts himself in a professional manner both on and off the pitch and he is really upset when we lose. Even if he has a good game on a personal level, it hurts him that the team has not won. His attitude is tremendous."

The leading scorer accolade went to Henry with 20. Former Bantams midfielder Mark Stuart was second with 18 and ex-City youth striker Scott Jackson was third with 15.
