No awards curse after magical Mold Alexandra claim a terrific treble

You know that supposed Manager of the Month curse people always talk about, claiming whoever gets the award usually loses their next game?

Well that was certainly NOT the case for Mold Alexandra this weekend.

After receiving a clean sweep of Ardal Northern League awards for the months of October/November, Alex went out and thrashed title rivals Denbigh Town 4-1 at Alyn Park.

It was the icing on the cake for the new leaders of Ardal North West, who picked up Club of the Month, Player of the Month (Danny Warren) and Manager of the Month (Michael Cunningham).

The awards were presented by league media officer Chris Parry.

During October/November, Mold defeated Llandudno Albion in the FAW Amateur Trophy to reach the quarter-finals of the national competition, saw off Llanrwst United 3-0 in the Ardal Northern League Cup and collected 19 points out of 21 in the league.
