Lewis-Simon Byrne receives his Player of the Month Award
Tue 22nd October 2024 | League Awards | By Martin Fallon
Chadderton Forward Lewis-Simon Byrne was recently re-presented with his First Division South Player of the Month award winner for October 2024.
He is pictured receiving his award from League Fixtures Co-ordinator Jeff Voller at the recent Maine Road v Chadderton game in the Manchester Premier Cup.
Byrne signed for Chadderton at the start of the season after playing for the last three seasons in the First Division North at Bacup Borough. He took a little while to settle in with two goals in July and August. However September has been completely different with a superb month for the forward.
The first two games of the month saw him help his team to a 2-1 win at Colne before a 5-2 home loss to AFC Liverpool. The third game at Wythenshawe Town saw him score the opening goal as he set his side on the way to a 2-0 win 'at home' to Stockport Town, and he was instrumental in the next game as he helped Chadderton come from 2-0 down at half time to draw 2-2 at an in-form Squires Gate.
Lew was rested in the next game at 'home' to Abbey Hey at Wythenshawe Town but came on at half time with Chadderton struggling. He put his side 2-1 ahead with a surging run from halfway before finishing from a wide angle. Abbey regained the iniative but Byrne rescued a point with his second of the game in stoppage time. Byrne was named Man of the Match by Abbey Hey in this game.
Retford United were next in the FA Vase at Avro with Byrne putting his side ahead after just two minutes then rifling a ball home after 28 minutes to make it 3-1. The start of the second half saw him complete his hat-trick by slotting home a cross from the right. He also got an assist as his side won 8-4!
The next game at Prestwich Heys saw Chadderton two goals behind again at half time, before Byrne pulled one back at the start of the second half. He added a second just before the hour from the penalty spot, and five minutes later found the top corner to complete his second successive hat-trick. He was not finished yet though, as he then secured a 5-3 win in the last minute with his fourth goal of the game as he rounded the keeper to score. This was another Man of the Match performance.
With nine goals in his last three games, Byrne was in confident mood going into the final game of the month at AFC Liverpool. Chadderton rounded off the month with a 7-1 away win, with Byrne winning a third Man of the Match of the Month by scoring his teams second goal as well as setting up three other goals on the night.
So eight appearances, three Man of the Match wins and 11 goals. Not a bad month eh! Congratulations to Lewis-Simon on his Award!
