Blue Square Announce “Manager of the Month” Winners for December


Newly appointed York City boss Colin Walker has won the Blue Square Premier “Manager of the Month” award for December. Walker was appointed caretaker-manager during November, and duly accepted a permanent role after an impressive start, which has seen his side remain unbeaten. During the month The Minstermen gained ten points from four league games, registering three victories and a draw. City also progressed to the next round of both non-league cup competitions and find themselves within touching distance of the play-off positions in the Blue Square Premier table. Rotherham born Walker made 34 appearances for his adopted country New Zealand during a playing career which also saw him play for Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday amongst others.

In the Blue Square South the award goes to Hampton & Richmond Borough manager Alan Devonshire. The former West Ham star led his team to three wins and two draws in a month which saw them average over two goals per game. Hampton started the month with a terrific 5-1 win at home to Weston-Super-Mare, they also went on to record a 4-1 victory at home to Hayes & Yeading.

Stalybridge Celtic manager Steve Burr has scooped the award in the Blue Square North. Burr’s team completed the month with a one hundred percent record despite playing all three fixtures away from home. The highlight of their month was a 3-1 win away at local rivals Hyde United on Boxing Day. Stalybridge also achieved wins at Leigh RMI and Solihull Moors.

Eastleigh 3-1 Newport County

EASTLEIGH V NEWPORT COUNTY MONDAY 12th MARCH 2007 Conference South So far so good, as Eastleigh pressed on with their busy schedule with a second comprehensive win in as many days. Yet another classy performance from the Spitfires saw them come out firing on all cylinders finding themselves two goals to the good in the blink of an eye, and just like they did in the Farnborough match at the weekend, they comfortably saw the game out. The only change from the winning side, saw Liam Green replace the injured David Hughes in the centre of midfield. Newport were panicking from the start with the excellent Steve Watts and Jamie Brown letting their presence be felt up the front, giving their opponents no time on the ball. The constant chasing down and pressure from the two Eastleigh forwards almost led to catastrophe in the third minute for Newport, as Stewart Edwards played across his own goal with his keeper missing the ball before it was eventually hacked away. Scorer of Eastl...
