2024/25 Genero Adran South awards
Player of the Season
Nicole Fenton – Pontypridd United
It has been quite the season for Nicole Fenton at Pontypridd United. With eleven goals and six assists, the 20-year-old had the most goal involvements in the Genero Adran South, before also finding the net in the promotion play-off against Connah’s Quay Nomads.
Erin Parry – Cascade
Cascade have had another great season in the second tier, and Erin Parry has played a crucial part in it. The midfielder has four goals to her name, but more than that, she has really become one of the best box-to-box players in the league.
Caitlin Seaborne – Pontypridd United
If you’re looking for one of the Genero Adran South’s most consistent performers, look no further than Seaborne. Her presence in the Pontypridd defence has been so important, as she helped the Dragons keep three clean sheets and win promotion at the first time of asking.
Manager of the Season
Brendan Donohoe – Cascade
After two defeats from their opening three league games, Brendan Donohoe turned Cascade’s fortunes around and made them a real force to be reckoned with as they finished third. The highlight was certainly beating champions Pontypridd United twice, including a 6-2 win in the penultimate game of the season.
Claire O’Sullivan – Pontypridd United
Claire O’Sullivan has masterminded a brilliant season at Pontypridd to ensure the club bounced straight back to the Genero Adran Premier. With plenty of players departing after relegation last year, O’Sullivan built a young and hungry squad that won nine of their 12 league games before mounting a stunning comeback to triumph in the play-off.
Dan Sheehan – Swansea University
Dan Sheehan oversaw a title challenge for Swansea University this season, with a run of six consecutive wins between December and March putting the Students in contention for top spot on the final day. They ultimately finished second, but did achieve the best defensive record in the league – conceding just eight goals in 12 games.
Young Player of the Season
Nicole Fenton – Pontypridd United
Such has been Nicole Fenton’s integral role in Pontypridd United’s success this season, it is easy to forget that she only turned 20 years old in March. She will now hope to impress in the top-flight, having scored twice against Aberystwyth Town in the Bute Energy Welsh Cup this term.
Lauren Payne – Pontypridd United
Lauren Payne has certainly made her mark at Pontypridd United in her first full season at the club. The 18-year-old scored six goals and contributed three assists as the Dragons clinched the league title. A highlight was two goals and one assist in an early season 4-3 win away at Cwmbran Celtic.
Caitlin Seaborne – Pontypridd United
Like her teammates, Caitlin Seaborne has shown maturity beyond her years as she has marshalled the Pontypridd United defence this season despite being only 19 years old. After limited opportunities in the Genero Adran Premier in 2023/24, Seaborne will be looking forward to tackling the top-flight next season.
