Warrington community club Crosfields are the first winners of the National Conference League's Team of the Month award.
The Hood Lane North club enjoyed an outstanding start to the season, integrating several new players to the squad against the backdrop of having to complete much of their pre-season based on two hired five-a-side football pitches.
New boss Matt Wilson, previously with Rylands Sharks, oversaw a four-game winning sequence that took them top of NCL Division Two. It saw The Soap beat off the play-off rivals Barrow Island (28-18), Dewsbury Moor Maroons (26-16), and Clock Face Miners (28-22), before storming back from 20-6 down against Hunslet Warriors to run out 36-20 victors.
NCL Administrator Alan Smith said: "Crosfields are a deserving first winner of this award after a winning start, and immaculate administration and media information responses. The award encompasses everything we would hope to see from an exceptionally run club."
