The winners of March’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
10 points earned from a possible 12 in April confirmed Haverfordwest County’s place at the top of the Play-Off Conference. Tony Pennock will now be targeting European qualification in the play-offs.
Player of the Month
Niall Flint – Aberystwyth Town
A constant threat in Aberystwyth Town’s attack, Niall Flint scored two crucial goals in April as the Seasiders survived relegation. He held his nerve to score an 86th-minute penalty to earn a crucial point against Airbus, before popping up with a 93rd-minute diving header on the final day to defeat Caernarfon and beat the drop.
JD Cymru North
Manager of the Month
Nathan Leonard - Guilsfield
Guilsfield confirmed a fourth place finish in the JD Cymru North with four successive wins in April. A 3-0 win over fifth-place Ruthin Town was particularly impressive, while Nathan Leonard’s team also did not concede a single goal throughout the month.
Player of the Month
Dan Atkins – Prestatyn Town
Four goals against Cefn Druids on the final day of the season ensured Dan Atkins finished as the joint top-scorer in the JD Cymru North, but his previous performances in April also earned plaudits. He also scored against Holywell Town and Llanidloes Town, while contributing an assist against Buckley Town.
JD Cymru South
Manager of the Month
Garry Taylor – Pontardawe Town
Pontardawe Town began April in the relegation zone with just four matches remaining, but Garry Taylor led his team to wins in all of those matches to secure an impressive ninth-place finish. Ponty thrashed eventual league runners-up Llanelli Town 4-0 away from home, before beating Trefelin, Ammanford and Taffs Well.
Player of the Month
Lewis Reed – Pontardawe Town
After beginning the month with a stunning first half hat-trick against Llanelli Town, Lewis Reed went on to score against Trefelin and Taffs Well while also contributing an assist against the latter to help Ponty stay up.
