THE entire York City Knights squad will receive a National League Two winners medal tomorrow, despite the Rugby Football League's stringent rules regarding the number they give out.

Under RFL guidelines, players must have played 75 per cent of the league matches to be given a medal. However, the Knights have paid to have extra medals cut so that every player at the club who participated in the league triumph gets due reward.

Coach Mick Cook said: "Everyone has been a part of what we've achieved and everyone should be awarded for it.

"Some players have played a bigger part than others for one reason or another but it is the entire squad that has taken us to the title."
