Manager of the Month

Luke Garrard – Boreham Wood
It’s been another month of unpredictability in the Vanarama National League, with many questions still unanswered at both ends of the table.
Luke Garrard was the youngest manager in the top five divisions when appointed to the hot seat at Meadow Park in 2015, but slowly he has moulded a squad which is very easy on the eye.
An excellent win in the Emirates FA Cup against Blackpool means the club now face another challenging tie in the Second Round at Coventry City, but they were also outstanding in November in the League. Amongst those performances were wins against Maidstone United and Woking.

Player of the Month

Danny Rowe – AFC Fylde
You cannot keep the irrepressible Danny Rowe away from trophies. He has several previous monthly awards on his mantlepiece from his days helping the Coasters win the Vanarama National League North.
Many wondered and even questioned if he could ‘cut the mustard’ in the more competitive Vanarama National League. Eleven league goals before the end of November suggests the striker has brought his goalscoring exploits with him into the fifth tier.
Always one for the big occasion, in rising to the top of the goal scoring charts, his strike to defeat leaders Dover Athletic showed immense determination.
He collects his award just a few hours before he steps out to face Wigan Athletic in the Emirates FA Cup in front of BBC TV cameras.
