Voting in January’s Player of the Month award is now open to members of Trust in Yellow.

The online voting form can be completed HERE.

Every month throughout the season, members are asked to nominate their star performer from the Southport team, with everyone who votes for the winning player going into a draw to make the presentation.

So far this month, Simon Grand has scored four goals - an important brace in the matches against both AFC Telford United and Lincoln City - as well as registering some steady performances in defence.

Shaun Whalley, the winner of November’s award, has been in excellent form, finding the target against Mansfield Town and setting up three goals in the victory over Lincoln - a match that also saw Andy Owens score a fantastic long-range effort, and his impact in leading the forward line has been crucial.

Or has another player caught your eye in January?

Voting is open until Sunday 3 February. The member chosen to hand over the award will be contacted ahead of the match against Barrow on Tuesday 12 February, when the presentation will be made.

Trust in Yellow will be arranging a weekend visit to Southport’s match at Lincoln City on 9 March.

Departing in the afternoon of Friday 8, the package includes travel, as well as two nights’ stay and breakfast in a city centre hotel.

The trip follows on from the highly successful weekend visit to Eastbourne two years ago.

The full package is available to supporters for just £80, with the price depending on the final uptake.

Fans will be staying at The Lincoln, a hotel which is situated near the city’s Cathedral and has been recommended by the home club. Rooms have been made available to the Trust at a discount of around 50%.

Options to include accommodation or coach travel only are also available.

With heritage dating back to Roman times, Lincoln is an historic city, which has developed into a vibrant, popular place to visit.

The trip can be paid for in stages and supporters are invited to register their interest as soon as possible.

To do so, phone Alan Scarisbrick on 07980911693 or visit the Trust office of a matchday.

Midfielder Karl Ledsham has been voted Southport's Player of the Month for December by supporters.

Scoring in both FA Trophy matches against Stockport County, as well as forcing a decisive own goal in the league game at Edgeley Park, Ledsham was the clear winner in the poll organised by Trust in Yellow.

He was presented with his award ahead of Tuesday night’s match against Lincoln City by Trust member Ben Highton.

25-year-old Ledsham has netted six goals in all this season, including a memorable winner against Gateshead in September.

He joins Chris Lever and Shaun Whalley in winning the Trust award this campaign.

Trust members will have their next chance to vote in January’s award at the end of the month.
