The North West Counties League Premier Division Goalkeeper of the Month Award for November 2024 has gone to Mitch Allen from Bury.

November saw Mitch play seven games in which he kept three clean sheets and conceded just eight goals to help Bury firmly cement their promotion ambitions. 

The first two games of the month were at home, Mitch keeping a clean sheet against Pilkington before a 1-1 draw with FC St Helens. A second clean sheet then came in a 2-0 win at AFC Liverpool 

Another two home games followed in a 1-1 draw with Charnock Richard before an 8-0 home win against Longridge Town. 

The sixth game of the month for Mitch saw Bury crash to a 4-3 loss at Lower Breck before rounding off the month with a 4-2 win at Burscough, Mitch claiming an assist for DJ Pedro to open in the scoring in this match. 

Congratulations to Mitch on his Award!

The Bloods' number one played in all five of his sides games in the month, keeping a clean sheet in four of them to help his side move to within five points of First Division North leaders Atherton LR. 

The month started with a 3-0 win at Steeton before a 3-2 home loss to Euxton Villa. The Bloods though showed their character by bouncing back with three wins in their final three games of the month. 

Two of these were close league games at the Butchers Arms with Maghull and AFC Blackpool both beaten 1-0. The other was a 3-0 win over Stockport Town in the Macron Cup. L

FIRST DIVISION SOUTH

There winner of the November 2024 Goalkeeper of the Month Award for the First Division South is Matt Holmes of Market Drayton Town.

Matt joined Market Drayton in the summer having had a superb season last season for Redgate Clayton where he conceded just 17 league goals in 30 games. 

The month for Matt started with a clean sheet at Barnton, and he could do little stop Bourne Town winning 3-1 in the Vase. 

A return  to league action brought a second clean sheet in a stunning 5-0 win at Alsager Town, swiftly followed by another in a 4-0 win over FOLEY Meir in the Macron Cup. 

The month finished with a game to forget for Matt and Market Drayton as they lost at Cammell Laird 1907, but overall a successful month for both. 

Congratulations Matt!
