Bitton's triumphant boss Andy Black has quashed speculation about his future at the club by pledging his commitment to their cause next season.

Bitton won the Toolstation League title by eight points from Frome Town and capped an impressive campaign, which included reaching the fifth round of the FA Vase, by clinching the GFA Challenge Trophy.

Many in local football circles believed ex-Mangotsfield United manager Black to be firmly in the running for the Yate Town position, before caretaker chief Dave Mogg was confirmed as the new Lodge Road supremo last week.

Black, however, stressed: "I'm happy at Bitton and I'm fully committed to the club. It has taken three years to build it up to its present standing and after a positive talk with the committee, I'm ready to try and build on this season's achivements."

Mark Cherry was named players' and supporters' player of the year while Matt Tilley was the manager's top choice.

Jack Welling and Martin Ansell were joint recipients of the club's young player of the year award.
