NEEDHAM Market manager Danny Laws has been named the Macron Manager of the Month for Division One North of the Ryman League.

Laws, whose side won the Ridgeons League last season, has led his side to the top of the table with six wins in seven matches plus progress in the FA Cup during the months of August and September covered by the award.

Needham chairman, David Bugg, was quick to praise Laws on his winning the award.

“When Danny joined this club in 2006 he found a club that had lost not only its manager but all bar one of the previous season’s team. By his hard work, dedication and contacts he has taken this club onto new heights every season. People said that it would be the best decision of my time with the club but it is proving to be the best footballing decision ever!”
