Darren Brannigan receives his Player of the Month Award
Thu 5th December 2024 | League Awards | By Martin Fallon
Maghull Forward Darren Brannigan was recently presented with his First Division North Player of the Month winner for October 2024.
League Director and Results Co-ordinator Martin Fallon recently took a trip to Maghull's DT Hughes Community Stadium for their second ever floodlit game at home to Burscough, and he is pictured presenting Darren with his award prior to the game.
Darren played 28 times for Ashton Athletic in the 2022/23 season before moving to Maghull where he helped them to promotion from the West Cheshire League, playing a large part with 47 goals last year and a double player of the year award for the club!
In October he has played in all seven games for Maghull scoring eight goals including a fantastic hat trick against Steeton and a brace in the thriller at Bacup Borough when Maghull were reduced to 9 men.
The first game of October for Darren came as he scored the winner in a 2-0 home win over Droylsden. It was the same scoreline against Skelmersdale United in the Macron Cup in the next game, Darren hitting the winner in this game also.
Next up was a trip to Steeton, where Alex again netted himself his first hat-trick of the season in a 6-1 win. He also picked up Man-of-the-Match in this game, which was Maghull's biggest win since returning to the NWCFL in the summer. He could do nothing as Ashton Town knocked Maghull out of the Edward Case Cup in the next game, the game ending in a 1-1 draw. Darren scored in the shootout but Ashton prevailed 7-6 on penalties.
A bonkers game was next at Bacup Borough, poor discipline letting down Maghull as they saw two players sent off and 7-2 down. Darren scored twice in the last ten minutes though for a 7-4 scoreline. He then added his eighth goal of the month as Maghull lost 4-2 at home to Atherton LR, with his last game of the month being a 2-1 home loss to Widnes in the Liverpool Senior Cup.
Congratulations to Darren on a fine month.
