Severn Sport Player of the Month w/ Cirencester Carpet Centre – May 2024
The Severn Sport Player of the Month is back and this season, we are going at it alone!
After having the award as a sponsored award for the last two seasons, we have brought the award back for the 2023/24 season and ahead of the FINAL award of the season, we welcome our new sponsor for the 2024/25 season – Cirencester Carpet Centre Ltd!
As usual, the Player of the Month shortlist is made up of three players included in the Team of the Month for that month – check out May’s Team of the Month here.
The winner is presented with the award and an image of them receiving the POTM trophy is then shared on Severn Sport’s social media during the following month.
This season’s winners include Longlevens winger Shiyak Sutherland, Gloucester City Women Development Captain, Nicole Lewis and Slimbridge winger Rudi McKinnon.
Last month saw Chalford’s Ben Minnican scoop the award.
So let’s check out this month’s shortlist
Luke Benneyworth (Chalford) – Not just in the Team of the Month, Benneyworth is the first player on the shortlist for May’s Player of the Month after two Man of the Match performances in a row, in Chalford’s two biggest games of the season. Absolutely superb.
Xander Jones (Abbeymead Rovers) – The second player on the shortlist for Player of the Month and in reality, Jones was the player of the Stroud League Cup finals in my opinion (based on the games I went to). Direct, dynamic and brave in his decisions in the final third. Scored a good goal and was great on the day.
George Parker (Chalford & Res) – The third and final player on the Player of the Month shortlist. His performance in the Cup final win over Painswick was superb, his confidence to do a Pogba-style run up for the penalty is outrageous and then he shows up against both Bibury and Tredworth and makes a difference in good wins for his side. Impressive from the young man.
The Severn Sport Player of the Month will be back next season! Thank you to everyone for reading and enjoying it once again this season.
