here are the winners of the player of the month and volunteer of the month awards.

There are few footballers fans can pin their hopes on more than Nick Haughton.
Talk about doing exactly what he says on the tin, there’s not many more reliable out there -
you know what you are getting, and that’s match winning performances.
AFC Fylde recognise they are lucky to have the 28-year-old and he was sizzling again in
September.
The attacking midfielder finished last season as runner-up – with 26 goals - in the Golden
Boot race to Macaulay Langstaff.
With him gone and scoring a level up, Haughton already had nine to his name this time
around.
Fact is, without the dependable player they would be sitting 18th in the table.
He scored seven goals in six games last month with doubles against Farsley Celtic, Bradford
PA and Spennymoor with another one against AFC Telford for good measure.
We love the Vanarama Volunteer of the Month award, and thanks to the National League’s
title sponsors we get to honour those who go the extra mile - all for the love of their club.
It’s not always straight-forward when a club wins promotion.
There’s so much to do and many boxes to tick to ensure you are ready for the step up and
Scarborough Athletic’s Steve Smith knows all about that.
The helpful Seadog was instrumental in getting the place ready for National League football
- and the players are certainly rewarding his hard work so far!

Steve dedicated his summer weekends and evenings after his full time job to being at the
Flamingo Land Stadium, alongside other volunteer Pete Wannop.
The technician made many trips across North Yorkshire to collect important equipment - in
addition to his usual volunteer duties of preparing the pitch in advance of every home game.
The club say they are so thankful to him and the other unpaid hard workers who give up
their free time to make a difference.
