In the Blue Square Bet North the ‘manager of the month’ award for January goes to Colwyn Bay player/manager Jon Newby. The former Liverpool trainee celebrates three months in the role with the honour. Newby’s side had to negotiate four away trips in the league during the month – winning all four – including victories at promotion chasing Altrincham and one-time title favourites Stalybridge Celtic. Their one home game was a goalless draw at with Vauxhall Motors, which added to four clean-sheets during the period too.

The Blue Square Bet North the ‘player of the month’ for January is Dan Holman from Histon. The Stutes’ striker notched seven goals from six league matches during the month, including a brace in the 2-2 draw at home to promotion chasing Guiseley.
