Forfar Athletic have been rewarded for their fine start to the season by receiving both Ladbrokes League 2 awards for August.
Boss Gary Bollan has been voted Manager of the Month while ex-Strathspey Thistle and Hibernian striker Josh Peters is Player of the Month.
Forfar kicked off with a 3-2 win away to SPFL newcomers Edinburgh City then beat Cowdenbeath 4-3 and Berwick Rangers 2-1 before ending the month with a 3-2 defeat of Elgin City.
They continued their fine form into September and go into Saturday’s home game against Stirling Albion with a five-point lead at the top of the table.
Bollan told Ladbrokes News: "It’s recognition for the whole club - for the effort that everybody’s put in. The backroom staff have been great, and it’s the players who put the effort in on the park.
“It’s not just down to me, it’s down to them – and the board of directors for helping us assemble the squad of players that we’ve got. We’ve had a big change in personnel and that’s probably been a help.
"We’ve changed the dynamics in the dressing room and changed the mentality, compared to what we had last season.
“We identified players early in the close season and we managed to get most of who we wanted so I’ve been really pleased. On top of that, they’ve gelled pretty well in a short space of time, which is really important as well."
The Ladbrokes monthly awards are voted for by members of the Scottish media, with a Manager and a Player of the Month selected for each of the four divisions.
