Striker Gareth Tedstone is up for player of the season

Trethomas Bluebirds have been recognised by the FAW after an outstanding debut campaign in the Cymru South, with three instrumental figures up for end of season awards.

It was an unforgettable season in the second tier of Welsh football for the Bluebirds, led by former manager Mark Dunford, who has been shortlisted for Cymru South manager of the season.

Dunford, who left the Bluebirds for Pontypridd United at the end of the season, managed Trethomas to second in the table, just five points behind eventual winners Llanelli Town.

Meanwhile, striker Gareth Tedstone has been nominated for player of the season after scoring 16 goals. The 33-year-old was a leader on and off the pitch, often showing his support from the sidelines when dealing with injury.

Finally, the now former Bluebirds winger Ethan Edwards is up for young player of the season, having combined for nine goals and nine assists.

The 22-year-old’s blistering pace down the flanks was often impossible for defenders to deal with, as Edwards provided a great outlet for the Bluebirds.

You can vote for your winner via the FAW’s website, with the deadline 5pm on Monday May 19.
