WINGER Nevaro Codlin collected the players' player of the season award at Cinderford Rugby Club's end of season presentation evening at the clubhouse on Friday.

Codlin was an instant hit in his first season of National League One rugby, scoring 13 tries.

The supporters' player of the year was Dave Knight, who filled in at outside-half when the club found themselves without a regular number 10 and helped get the best out of the backs with his 'run everything' approach.

United team captain Joe Smart was second XV player of the year, with Jonny Jelf picking up the Stags player of the year award and the Gary Biles Memorial Shield.

Bucks team player of the year was Carl Edwards, while Lewis Smith received the colts award.

Chris Bundy was front-row forward of the year with Richard Morgan collecting the clubman award.

Cinderford's first pre-season fixture will be on August 6 at home to Launceston.

They go to Cross Keys on August 13, then take on Llandovery, away, on August 20.

The Foresters were due to play a trial match at home to Hartpury College, but the college has now pulled out of that game.
