THE awards just keep rolling in for Cwmbran hotshot Chris Summers.
This week he became the BBC Radio Cymru February player of the month - the first time the award has been won in successive months.
Summers broke a Welsh Premier League record by scoring in a tenth successive game against Aberystwyth and extended it to eleven on the trot against Welshpool, taking his tally to 17 league goals this season as the Crows rapidly climbed from the bottom three to 7th place.
The former Barry Town hitman was stunned to hear of this latest award. "It is great news, not just for me but for the whole team and the manager," he said. "It is always nice to get awards but all the attention is a bit embarrassing. I'm not used to it."
The striker, who works as a fireman, is clearly enjoying his football.
He said: "It is going really well at the moment and I am pleased with my performances. It feels as though every time I get a chance the ball ends up in the net.
"It is all about confidence and when you go on a run like this you are not afraid to miss chances because you are sure that you will score the next one."
After a week off from league duty last week, when Brian Coyne's side defeated UWIC to book a place in the Welsh Cup semi-finals against Rhyl, they return to business tomorrow when Porthmadog make the long journey to Cwmbran Stadium.
Summers' record is for league games only so despite failing to find the target in the cup quarter-finals, the striker can increase his run tomorrow.
He said: "Hopefully I can keep it going. If I get into the positions then I know I will get chances to score." After struggling with a knee injury in recent weeks, Summers looks to be back to full fitness.
"I have been doing a lot of work and I should be able to play without a support for the first time in a while," he said.
With player of the month Summers and manager of the month Brian Coyne, Cwmbran will be hoping to register their seventh league win on the bounce tomorrow.
