This year's Fair Play Awards go to Liskeard Under-14s and Holman Under-13s.

The annual award, supported by The FA Youth Trust, is given in recognition of the team and its coaches displaying a good attitude to the game on and off the field.

Warren Parker, Cornwall FA's Women and Girls Football Development Officer presented the award. He said, " Liskeard coaches Adam Sibley and Ian Woodhouse have demonstrated tremendous abilities to instil their positive ethos and beliefs to the young players.

"The players continue to strive and develop on the field whilst showing the ability to conduct themselves correctly and behave in a respectful way to all associated with their club and to the opposition teams. 

"Liskeard Under-14s players grew as a group throughout the season and I heard many positive comments on their general approach to football by many who attended their games . "

Holmans Falcons Under-13 team achieved the FA Fair Play Award because, Cornwall FA Youth Secretary David Bray said, "They were considered by the Kernow League Management Committee to have played in a fair and sporting manner throughout the season, despite losing all 10 of their league matches. This exemplary attitude was reflected by the Manager and supporting parents who also conducted themselves in the same way on the touchline."

The teams were all given individual medals as well as a cheque for £200.
