“We spoke pre-season about what we wanted to achieve during the upcoming season and we agreed as a squad we felt that winning the Premier Division and all three league trophies was a possibility,” said McIntosh.

“Throughout the season the depth of the squad and unbelievable team spirit have driven us on each week and allowed us to achieve our target.

“As a manager you like to take credit by picking a side and hope it’s the right one and it gets you the results you need. But the true credit here belongs to the squad and I would like to thank them all for their support, dedication, hard work and desire to win a history-making quadruple that I am sure won’t be matched for many years to come.”

In addition to winning four trophies, Bishops also had the league’s leading goalscorer in Ed Kostiuk, who scored 33 goals from 23 appearances and 49 in all competitions.
