| Season 1998/99 |
| Temple Fortune's Second Team |
| M(S)FL Fifth Division |
 |
Temple Fortune's Second Team reformed in 1997 after an absence of six years, having folded in 1991. The Seconds entered Division Five of the Maccabi (Southern) Football League in 1998 and celebrated that first season back by gaining promotion to Division Four. But equally impressive was the fact that the team also won the Ron Saunders Sportsmanship & Turnout Memorial Trophy, which is the League's most prestigious award. The Ron Saunders S&TMT is presented to the team gaining the highest average of marks allocated by referees on a weekly basis for sportsmanship and playing kit turnout. Temple Fortune Seconds XI topped the table out of 65 competing teams, a marvellous achievement which was very proudly received by this Club. At the M(S)FL Awards Evening in June 1999, Peter Kyte collected the Trophy from the widow of Ron Saunders. . LEFT: The Ron Saunders Sportsmanship & Turnout Memorial Trophy |
