Blue Square Announce “Player of the Month” Awards for October



“October Award Goes To Gateshead Keeper Farman”

Gateshead goalkeeper Paul Farman has won the Blue Square Premier “Player of the Month” award for October. The summer signing from Blyth Spartans has been in tremendous form as his side have moved clear of the league’s relegation zone. Farman has kept four clean sheets in five matches after making his debut in Gateshead’s clash with Rushden in late September, in which he also managed a shut out.

Heed manager Ian Bogie was keen to point out the achievement reflected well on his whole defence but was also pleased for the youngster who celebrated his birthday on Monday.

“It’s a nice surprise for Paul on his birthday but this just goes to show how hard the defence has worked along with the rest of the lads.

“He needs to keep his feet on the ground now ahead of the cup game with Brentford at the weekend, but I’m sure he’ll have a big future in the game” Bogie added.

In the Blue Square South the award goes to Maidenhead United’s Will Hendry. The former Millwall youngster hit five goals in six league matches, including a brace in the away match at Eastleigh.

Mark Danks from Northwich Victoria has won the award in the Blue Square North. Danks picked up an FA Cup player of the round award for his goalscoring prowess last month and carried on where he left off in October. The striker scored in all five of his appearances for The Vics including a hat-trick against Chorley in the cup.

“Stags Boss Holdsworth Keeps Up Play-Off Chase With Unbeaten Run”

Mansfield Town manager David Holdsworth has won the Blue Square Premier "Manager of the Month" award for October. The Stags consolidated their position in the play-off places with an unbeaten month.

Holdsworth’s team also progressed to the First Round Proper of The FA Cup with a second success over Altrincham during the month.

In the Blue Square South the award goes to Alan Devonshire of Hampton & Richmond Borough. The former West Ham star led his side to an unbeaten month in the league including victories over Weymouth and Maidenhead United.

Liam Watson from Southport has won the award in the Blue Square North. The Sandgrounders moved into top spot in the table with three wins and a draw during the month. The highlight was a 2-0 away win at fellow title chasers AFC Telford United.

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
