Player News:

Congratulations to Josh Kelly, who has been named Walton Casuals Player of the Month for August, and to Brandon Williams who picked up the same honour at Ashford United, and to Eion Casey who won for Potters Bar Town.

Congratulations to Pat Harding, who scored his 100th Burgess Hill Town goal in the Hillians victory at Erith Town on Saturday.

Congratulations to Phil Kelly of Brightlingsea Regent, who has now scored for the club at every level from Step Seven to Step Three.

Good luck to Tom Collins, the former Walton Casuals, Met Police, Hampton & Richmond Borough, and Enfield Town player who left his latest club, Staines Town, at the weekend.

Congratulations to Joe Christou and Glenn Poole who were presented with tankards for reaching their 100 match Thurrock milestone. Sadly there was apparently no beer in either of them. Similar congratulations to Worthing striker Ben Pope, who has reached the same milestone despite only just being old enough to drink beer!

Congratulations to Sam Clarke of AFC Sudbury, who barring mishaps and assuming he’s selected will tonight equal the club appearance record currently held by Paul Betson.

And finally, congratulations to Witham Town for holding on to supporter of the year James Beardwell despite persistent rumours of a transfer to Billericay Town!
