Vita Risk Solutions: Manager of the Month Award, October 2024
In conjunction with our friends at Vita Risk, we honour the best Pitching In Isthmian managers of October
Here are our latest Vita Risk Solutions Managers of the Month of the 24-25 season- a quartet of deserved winners.
Premier Division
We’re heading to the Blue corner of North London- where October was certainly full of sunshine on Summers Lane. Wingate and Finchley had s superb October, defeating Dartford three-two in Kent, defeating Hendon six-one at Silver Jubilee Park, and winning three-one on their own patch against Bowers and Pitsea. Those performances lifted them into the top five- and they also won our Manager of the Month prize for boss Ahmet Rifat. Many congrats to Ahmet, who had a superb 23-24 and has managed to bring that momentum into this campaign, too.
North Division
It’s time to visit Chadfields, where Pitching In Isthmian North leaders Tilbury had an almost perfect October. Our award is given on the basis of League results, and October’s six matches for the Dockers brought wins over Brightlingsea Regent, Mildenhall Town, Witham Town, Felixstowe and Walton United and Heybridge Swifts, as well as a draw with Newmarket Town. Whilst we don’t take Cup matches into account, coming from four-nil down with twenty minutes to go to defeat Haringey Borough in the Velocity Cup was rather special, too! Congratulations to Marc Harrison on a truly superb October.
South Central Division
What an October Binfield had! They ended September on the receiving end of two hammerings, and yet once we moved into October it was as if those results had never happened, as they became a force to be reckoned with. Four matches in the League, four wins- with Guernsey, Badshot Lea and Raynes Park Vale defeated on the road, and Sutton Common Rovers defeated at home. Whilst we don’t count Cup matches when calculating the winner of this award, it would be remiss of us not to mention their Velocity Cup match against Premier Division promotion chasers Dulwich Hamlet, a four-one win at Champion Hill confirming a perfect month. Our congratulations go to Moles boss Ross Weatherstone, ably assisted by Andy Bullett and Keith Pennicott-Bowen whilst he recovers from ill health. Get well soon, Ross.
South East Division
It’s time to recognise the brilliant Brickies! October saw Sittingbourne play seven league matches, defeating Burgess Hill Town, Deal Town, Hythe Town, Herne Bay and Steyning Town, whilst drawing with Beckenham Town and Sevenoaks Town. It saw them score twenty three goals and concede only six, and it earns our Manager of the Month prize for boss Ryan Maxwell. Again, we don’t include Cup matches whilst we’re calculating the winners, but if we did we’d add two further victories to that list, both giant killings, as Premier Division sides Bognor Regis Town and Dover Athletic were removed from the FA Trophy- a second win over the latter this season. Many congratulations Ryan.
