Midfield players Eric Graves and Johno Williams were both presented with engraved glass trophies to commemorate their respective 100 appearances for the club.

Graves returned to Belper Town for a third spell with the club in October 2015 and was the first signing made by Nailers manager, Charlie Palmer.

It was a remarkable signing for the club as he had only signed for Coalville Town in the summer following a successful period with Gresley FC.

He started his career and an academy player at Stoke City before enjoying spells at Burton Albion and Mickleover Sports.

Williams signed for the Nailers from Derbyshire rivals Buxton in January 2015 for whom he had originally signed for from Gainsborough Trinity in the summer of 2014, having spent three seasons with the Lincolnshire club.

He spent his formative years with Scunthorpe United, where he earned a professional contract.
