Lansdown up for league award

FAW (Lewis Mitchell)

Former Llantwit Major keeper Jack Lansdown is among the nominees in the Cymru Leagues' monthly awards for April.

Lansdown retired from the Cymru South club at the end of the season after making more than 425 appearances.

His final two games for Llantwit saw then-manager Ben Stait hand him the captaincy, keeping a clean sheet in a 1-0 win at home to Caerau Ely before saving a penalty in a 1-0 defeat at Cwmbran Celtic a fortnight later.

Lansdown, who was named the inaugural member of the club's hall of fame, is up for the Cymru South's player of the month award, alongside Llanelli's Liam Eason, Carmarthen's Toby Jones and Newport City's Kofi Rowe.

Meanwhile, Andy Legg is nominated for the Cymru Premier's manager of the month for April.

Barry Town United's season was cut short last weekend after a 5-2 play-off defeat at Caernarfon ended their hopes of European qualification.

But Legg did lead Barry to five wins from their last six games of the regular season, including a 2-0 win over Connah's Quay which clinched the play-off spot and a 5-0 demolition of Briton Ferry Llansawel.

Legg faces competition from Caernarfon's Richard Davies and Flint Town United's Lee Fowler.

Alas, there's no nomination for long-serving Barry skipper Kayne McLaggon, who capped off eight years at Jenner Park by scoring in his last two games.

A fans’ vote on social media will be combined with a league and independent voting panel to determine the award winners.
