Blue Square Announce “Player of the Month” Winners for August



“Kettering Have The Right Guy At The Back”

Kettering Town captain Guy Branston has won the Blue Square Premier "Player of the Month" award for August.

Branston has led his side through the first six games of the Blue Square Premier season without a defeat as the Poppies have made a mockery of their pre-season relegation odds.

The no-nonsense centre back has marshalled a Kettering defence that have only conceded 4 goals in their opening games following promotion from the Blue Square North as champions in May.

Town boss Mark Cooper believes the award is fully deserved and commented “Guy came from a league background so it took a while for him to get his head around the non-league game but he has been immense this season. “He’s exactly the kind of man you want in the trenches alongside you and he has forged an excellent partnership with new signing Exodus Geohaghon” he added.

In the Blue Square South the award goes to AFC Wimbledon striker Jon Main. The Dons forward got off to a fantastic start with a hat-trick at Newport County on the opening day of the season. That was Main’s second consecutive hat-trick after doing the same a week earlier in a pre-season friendly with former club Tonbridge Angels.

Main also hit important strikes late on in the games against Bognor Regis and Bromley to give his club a table-topping start to the Blue Square South season.

Andy Campbell from Farsley Celtic has won the award in the Blue Square North. The former Middlesbrough striker has hit 5 goals in six games including a brace in the 4-1 home victory over Fleetwood Town.

The signing from Halifax has started the season with a bang as Celtic look to regain their place in the Blue Square Premier.

Subs: Robinson (on for Blaxall 40), Bamba (on for Watt 50), Easton (on for White 70). By Jamie Montigue Match Photos - Here After just two minutes, Eastleigh Reserves found themselves a goal behind. A long ball forward from the visitors was met by a tidy finish with a fine lob over stranded Eastleigh goalkeeper Freddie Toomer and into the net. Ben White headed wide from an Aaron Blaxall left wing cross soon after, before Nick Watt fired narrowly over the cross bar with a good attempt from a free kick 20 yards out, to the left of goal. Tooting & Mitcham really should have been two goals to the good but were left ruing a squandered chance as an unmarked man at the far post headed wide with the goal at his mercy. In the 26th minute Ben White had the ball in
