Supporters' club chairman Ian Guppy said: "It was a pleasure to be able to recognise our first trophy in over 30 years and for our fans to touch the silverware. In a season that promised so much at the start and over Christmas it petered out into one some may see as a little disappointing but to lift a trophy at the end is a success and it was a great night to recognise the players responsible.

"I thank them all for their endeavours this season and good luck next season, whether at Bognor Regis Town FC or another club. I also thank the supporters and the supporters club committee for all of their help on making the evening such a success and look forward to pre-season already."
