SKIPPER Alan Manning led the way by collecting the top award at Bournemouth Lions’ end-of-season presentation night.

The inspirational prop forward bagged the Yarwood Trophy for winning the players’ player of the year vote.

Manning was also awarded the Bill Johnston Cup for being chosen as the Chapel Gate club’s captain of the year.

Back-row man Tommy Booth received the John Plank Trophy for player of the year, with the Chairman’s Trophy for young player of the year going to Tom Vaughan-Edwards.

Lions’ late-season form during the 2012-13 campaign ensured their National Two South safety following their debut year in the fourth tier of English rugby.
