The curse continues

Who lost yesterday,a day after the awards were announced,after having secured 4 league victories out of 4 in January.? You guessed it,HARROW BOROUGH!

 

Perhaps it was a toss up in the end as to who got it between Howell & Trotty. We f***** up too. (Someone tell Trotty he didn't get it).

The First Division South 'Golden Boots' award is a double award for December and January. With five players all having scored five goals at the end of December, it was clearly not possible to select the one leading goalscorer and therefore two awards have been presented at the end of January.

 

The award for the "Team Performances of the Month" recognises a particularly noteworthy performance by a Club during the month from any of its first team matches in all competitions played.

 

Carshalton Athletic Football Club have won the "Performance of the Month" award for the Ryman League Premier Division. Having languished in the danger zone in the first half of the season, the Carshalton Athletic team travelled to second placed Hendon, and gave a stunning performance to beat they hosts by a clear five goal margin to return home with the points from a 5-0 victory.

 

Wivenhoe Town had struggled all season with just three draws from their twenty two matches played up to the end of December 2007. They entertained promotion chasers Brentwood Town on the first Saturday in January, and recorded their first win of the season with a 2-0 victory against their Essex rivals.

 

Chatham Town won the Team Performance award for October with a 1-0 victory at Dover Athletic. They have now repeated that feat by winning the January award with a 3-1 home victory over the same opponents. They became the first club not only to record the double against the Division One South championship favourites, but so far they are the only club to have defeated Dover in the League this season.
