Our day will come - March Awards

[Cookie]

Whilst I accept Dovers 6-0 victory was a good un' & that it gave them the championship I do feel on this occasion (& without intentionally showing a bias toward my own team,) is that our 4-0 thrashing of Canvey away would have been higher on the list for the monthly performance award.

Yes they could have pegged back a couple of goals but we could also have sneaked a couple more too in that remaining 8 minutes,who knows?

Playing with 10 men for an hour,away from home,winning 4-0 against a team who were at that time around 5th or 6th in the table,going for a play-off place & in good form,& us in the bottom 4 & under pressure to get valuable points deserved a mention i.m.o. & was possibly more worthy of the award,again i.m.o.

No matter,WE know how good a result that was so at least WE KNOW!

A cracking result that day & some fine performances since. Keep it up T/Y & N/S & the players.

Our just rewards will come if we continue to believe & continue to show that will to win as of late,starting again on Saturday.

Keep up the good work chaps!!

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.

 

Dover Athletic have led the Premier Division all season by a clear points distance, and on the last Saturday of March, they deservedly clinched the Championship with a stunning 6-0 winning margin at home to play-off rivals Sutton United. This performance has therefore won the Kent club the 'Premier Division Team Performance' award for the month of March.

 

Tilbury's fortunes this season have steadily improved under the guidance of their new management team led by Graham Chester, and on Tuesday evening, 17th March, they beat Premier Division neighbours Billericay Town 2-0 to reach the Final of the Isthmian League Cup competition for the first time since 1976. This was their third success against Premier Division opposition in the Cup this season, and won Tilbury their second 'Division One North Team Performance' award of the season.

 

Corinthian-Casuals, sitting in 21st position in Division One South at the time, travelled to top of the table Kingstonian on Saturday, 7th March, and after ninety minutes play, returned home with the three points from a gallant and unexpected 1-0 victory. The win has therefore won the Club the Team Performance award for Division One South for March.

 

This season these awards are being sponsored by Vandanel Sport Limited, the League's Official Benchwear Supplier and Preferred Kit Supplier. As part of the sponsorship of these awards, Vandanel Sport will provide a 'Manager of the Month' trophy and Jacket for each Manager of the Month, and a trophy and

I do agree though, your performance was more worthy of the award.
