Player awards for Patten and Williams

Tuesday, 12 November 2024 16:31

The Cymru Leagues' player-of-the-month awards have been won by two footballers in the Vale.

Keenan Patten gets the Cymru Premier honour for October after scoring two of his four league goals in wins over Briton Ferry and Newtown.

Patten has started every league game for the club so far this season, including last Saturday's 3-2 victory over Connah's Quay Nomads.

Steve Jenkins was shortlisted for the top flight's manager-of-the-month award, but lost out to Haverfordwest County's Tony Pennock.

Meanwhile, Llantwit Major veteran Sean Williams was named the Cymru South's player of the month for October.

The 40 year-old centre back played every minute of Llantwit's three league games in the season and scored the equaliser in their 1-1 draw with Goytre United - his first goal of the season.

Llantwit's nine-game unbeaten run in the league came to an end on Friday night with a 3-0 defeat at Taffs Well.

Both clubs have the weekend off due to their early exits from the Welsh Cup - but Llantwit return to action on Wednesday off for the second leg of their Fenix Trophy first round clash with Belgian club Berchem Sport, who lead 7-2 on aggregate.

Tickets are still on sale for the return leg at the STM Glass Stadium in Bridgend, with the club urging fans to buy in advance. Kick off is at 7.30pm.
