The Premier Division Player of the Year award went to Farsley Celtic’s James Spencer with Nantwich Town’s Joe Malkin the Young Player of the Year recipient.

And the hypothetical Premier Division Team of the Year was named as:
Peter Crook (Hyde United), Will Hayhurst (Farsley Celtic), Mark Roberts (Warrington Town), David Raven (Warrington Town), Brad Roscoe (Buxton), Robert Briggs (South Shields), Sean Cooke (Nantwich Town), Alistair Waddecar (Bamber Bridge), Michael Coulson (Scarborough Athletic), James Spencer (Farsley Celtic) and Nathan Watson (Basford United).

South Shields was voted Premier Division Pitch of the Year and although Reds won’t have the pleasure of playing there next season they will play at Trafford whose playing surface was voted best in the west.
