He added: “It was a great achievement for all involved with the club - the sponsors, the players, the supporters, and all the past and present committee members associated with Crowland Juniors FC who give up their time voluntarily every week for the kids of Crowland.

“We would also like to thank the Peterborough Junior Alliance League for nominating us for this award.”

Crowland Juniors currently run teams at every age group from Under 6 to Under 15.
