Fylde's awards cabinet is getting increasingly crowded. In the last four months the Club has won:

• Lancashire John Burgess Cup
• Halbro Trophy (by Fylde Saracens)
• U'16s Lancashire Cup
• Lancashire RFU's Senior Club of the 2008/9 Season
• Ian Sinclair Youth Trust Award for Rugby Development

Now the Club has been selected as Fylde Borough's Community Club of the Year. At the Fylde Sports Award 2009 at the Town Hall on Wednesday, 29th July. Alan Holmes, Academy Manager, picked up the Award on behalf of the Club. The citation read as follows:

"The Club's mission statement is to be the best rugby club in the North West, not just on the playing side but also coaching, volunteering, community outreach, school involvement and as a social club. 

The Club secured funding for two full time development officers who have made a massive impact on growing the Club and building community and school links. Just some of the work the team does in schools includes training opportunities for volunteers, coaches and officials and the organisation and administration of the Fylde & Wyre RUFFS league which provides valuable playing opportunities for eleven high schools.

Fylde recently hosted their third annual beach rugby tournament which was a great success and engaged the local community with teams of friends taking part who had never picked up a rugby ball before!.

As a club they have just received the re-accreditation of their Clubmark status and are also one of the first clubs in England to receive the RFU's Whole Club Seal of Approval."
