Manager of the Month

Mark Bower – Bradford Park Avenue
It has been a close call again in November to decide where the manager award is off to. This clearly shows the competitiveness of the Vanarama National League North and Mark has seen his charges remain unbeaten in the past month, recording three straight wins, lifting the West Yorkshire outfit from 15th and mid table up into the Play Off positions.
With lots of experience gained in the division at near neighbours Guiseley, it has taken time to remodel The Avenue but the signs are there that under Mark they may again make another mark in the football world.

Player of the Month

Jack Redshaw – Salford City
Salford City have taken a massive 7 point lead at the top of the Vanarama National League North and they are unlikely to want to give that up easily.
At times they may have the odd set back but generally their all-round application put those behind them. Scoring goals will be the key to maintaining that successful challenge to move into the fifth tier and Jack Redhsaw is a player they must keep fit and firing on all cylinders.
His four goal haul in the space of 36 second-half minutes against North Ferriby United certainly caught the headlines outside of Manchester.
The ex-Morecambe and Blackpool player has now hit double figures for the season and more are expected to come his way.
