The Conference clubs have made their nominations — and there are some big performances to sort through.

Four goals for Dec Smith. Hat-tricks for Colton McCunnie and Josh Maclaren. Two goals for Jack McCulloch, while Sean Murray was involved throughout Cumbernauld Pumas’ attacking performance.

There are plenty of cases away from the goals too, with defenders earning Man of the Match recognition, midfielders changing games and substitutes making an immediate impact.

As always, these are the clubs’ nominations and their reasons for putting the players forward.

The nominations belong to the clubs. The final selections belong to us.

Good luck to everyone nominated.
