Once again this season, Trust in Yellow will be running the popular Player of the Month award.

Every month throughout the season, fans are asked to nominate their star performer from the Southport team and one supporter will be selected to make the presentation to the winning player.

And with the first month of the new season now complete, the voting for August's Player of the Month is open.

Although it took until the end of the month for Southport to record their first win of the season, they did so with an impressive performance against Altrincham, with Gary Jones, Liam Nolan and Connor McCarthy on target.

Louis Almond scored the Sandgrounders’ first goal of the season against Gateshead with a fine individual strike and has shown impressive form, as has Matt Challoner in defence.

Or has another player caught your eye in August?

Voting is open until 3pm on Saturday, September 5, and the presentation will be made ahead of the match against Tranmere Rovers on September 15.

You can submit your vote in any of the following ways:

- E-mail fans@trustinyellow.com

- Text POTM followed by the player’s name and your name to 07861416859

- Complete a voting slip at the Trust office (next to the club shop)

- Tweet @trustinyellow

- Send a message via the Trust’s facebook group HERE

Since the award was introduced, the club's junior supporters have taken real delight in making the presentation to the winning player.

You can nominate yourself, your child or any other friend or family member to present the award by contacting the Trust in the same ways you can vote above.

The Player of the Month award is one of several initiatives run by the Trust to promote greater supporter-involvement and strengthen the link between fans and players.
