Touch judge Tony presented with award
Tony made his debut as a flag waver over at Bradford and Bingley in October 1998 in a North Two fixture which the Vale lost 29-5; Andrew Garnett scored the try in a side captained by Andy Higgin.
Tony has become a familiar, highly respected and knowledgeable figure on the circuit, pounding the touchline in rain, hail and sun.

Both Tony, and his wife Ann, are ardent, long standing supporters of the Vale both on and off the field.
