The winners of September’s Player and Manager of the Month awards across the JD Cymru Leagues have been confirmed.
JD Cymru Premier
Manager of the Month
Chris Hughes – Newtown
Newtown started September with just one point from four matches and only outside of the relegation zone on goal difference, but a remarkable turnaround sees them now sit in third place. Chris Hughes led the Robins to six consecutive wins last month, while they kept a clean sheet in four of those.
Player of the Month
Jordan Davies – Connah’s Quay Nomads
It has been a seamless return to Connah’s Quay Nomads for Jordan Davies, who is currently the JD Cymru Premier’s top scorer with nine goals. Six of those came in September to help his team win every game, including braces against both Barry Town United and Penybont.
JD Cymru North
Manager of the Month
Johnny Haseldin – Holywell Town
Hollywell Town’s strong start to the season continued into September with two wins and a draw, meaning they remain unbeaten in the JD Cymru North so far. A 4-0 win over Prestatyn Town took Johnny Haseldin’s side top of the table before a draw with Flint and a win over Caersws.
Player of the Month
Matthew Worrall – Denbigh Town
After scoring 19 goals in the third tier last season, Matthew Worrall has hit the ground running in the JD Cymru North following Denbigh Town’s promotion. He contributed four goals and two assists in September, including being involved in half of his side’s goals in the chaotic 6-5 victory over Buckley Town.
JD Cymru South
Manager of the Month
Dean Wheeler – Caerau Ely
Caerau Ely were only outside of the JD Cymru South relegation zone on goal difference at the start of September, but they kick started their season with two wins from three matches. Dean Wheeler’s side were 3-0 winners against Goytre United and 4-1 winners away at Llantwit Major.
Player of the Month
Ryan Bevan – Llanelli Town
A consistently reliable presence for Llanelli Town, Ryan Bevan keeps things ticking over in midfield for the Reds. The 21-year-old is yet to miss a minute of league action so far this season and he impressed in September, earning the Man of the Match award against Baglan Dragons and contributing two assists in the 5-1 win over Abergavenny Town.
