The winners of November’s Player and Manager of the Month awards across the JD Cymru Leagues have been confirmed.
JD Cymru Premier
Manager of the Month
Tony Pennock – Haverfordwest County
No JD Cymru Premier club picked up more points in November than Haverfordwest County, who claimed seven from three games to move within a point of a top six spot. Tony Pennock led his side to their biggest win of the campaign in a 5-0 triumph over Colwyn Bay, before they became the first side in almost two years to win away at Connah’s Quay Nomads. A 1-1 draw against an in-form Cardiff Met side completed an unbeaten month for the Bluebirds.
Player of the Month
Ryan Sears – Newtown
It has been an impressive season for third-place Newtown and Ryan Sears has been crucial to their success – the Robins picked up seven points from a possible nine from the three matches he played in November. A constant attacking threat down the left flank while also continuing to be solid defensively, he opened the scoring in the 3-1 win over Pontypridd United.
JD Cymru North
Manager of the Month
Jordan Hadaway – Llandudno
Following a squad overhaul in the summer, it has been a tricky campaign so far for Llandudno but they found their feet in November. After starting the month on just three points – eight points adrift of safety – Jordan Hadaway led his team to three successive wins against Prestatyn Town, Chirk AAA and Ruthin Town meaning that they had climbed out of the relegation zone by the start of December.
Player of the Month
Danny Holland – Llandudno
Amidst a host of exciting young talent in the Llandudno squad, it was captain Danny Holland who led by example as the Seasiders earned three consecutive wins in November. After his brace helped to secure a 3-2 win over Prestatyn Town, the midfielder also found the net in the 4-1 victory against Chirk AAA before assisting Ethan Roberts’ opener in the 2-1 win against Ruthin Town.
JD Cymru South
Manager of the Month
Nathan Cotterrall & Geza Hajgato – Taffs Well
Taffs Well had only won two out of their first 11 league games and sat 12th in the JD Cymru South table at the start of November, but three consecutive wins saw them climb to sixth and ease their relegation fears. Management duo Nathan Cotterrall and Geza Hajgato guided their team to victories against Abergavenny Town, Abertillery Bluebirds and Llantwit Major.
Player of the Month
Ethan Cann – Llanelli Town
Llanelli Town netted seven goals in November and Ethan Cann was the scorer of five of them. The 21-year-old forward is in red hot form in front of goal, as he bagged a hat-trick in the win over Caerau Ely before his brace helped the Reds secure a vital 3-0 win over title rivals Afan Lido.
