Teams in the Welsh Alliance League took part in the FAW Fair Play Day and Holywell Town showed their support for the Fair Play Code before Monday's game by warming up in the FAW Fair Play T-shirts. (See picture)

The FAW Fair Play Code aims to raise the profile of the Fair Play message by inspiring players, clubs, officials and supporters to maintain good on-field discipline including abiding by the Laws of the Game, respecting opponents, referees and promoting the interests of football.

To encourage good behaviour, the FAW will periodically publish Disciplinary Tables for each of the Directly-Affiliated Leagues via a dedicated page on the FAW website. Those topping each table at the end of the season are awarded a Fair Play Award and a prize of £1000 to be spent on improving facilities at your club. Previous winners of the Award have invested the money on an upgrade to dressing rooms, new equipment such as balls, bibs, kit and improving the pitch. The 12 Winners of the 2013/14 season have received the £1000 prize money and were presented with a Fair Play trophy before the Wales v Bosnia & Herzegovina UEFA Euro 2016 Qualifiers at the Cardiff City Stadium in October 2014.

The FAW Off the Pitch campaign is also represented here today and aims to educate all of our stakeholders including clubs and players with regards best practice when using social media. Off the Pitch is also here to remind stakeholders how comments made via social media can reflect on their club or competition that they participate in and therefore, offers advice to players and club officials such as treating others with respect. Be in the right state of mind when posting and to generally act responsibly when using all forms of social media.

The Off the Pitch campaign is unique amongst National Associations within Europe and has been utilised as evidence of best practice with regards promoting the positive usage of social media by UEFA. The FAW social media team look forward to continuing to work together with all its stakeholders over the coming seasons.

Last Season, Holywell Town had a few points deducted for their support of the campaign and this year will be no different as the FAW Fair Play logo is included on any letters which the secretary sends out, as well as in the matchday programme and on our website.

The club would like to thank the FAW for supplying the warm up T-shirts and to Ian Fisher for his help and guidance in the weeks leading up to Monday's game.
