Vita Risk Solutions: Manager of the Month Award, January 2025

In conjunction with our friends at Vita Risk, we honour the best Pitching In Isthmian managers of January
Here are the first Vita Risk Solutions Managers of the Month of 2025- a quartet of very deserved winners.
Premier Division
For the second month in a row, we’re off to Princes Park. January saw the Darts continue to fly, winning every match, Chatham Town, Whitehawk, Wingate and Finchley and- most impressively- Billericay Town their victims, the latter by four goals to nil. The Darts are firmly in the title chase, and Adrian Pennock is once again our Manager of the Month. Many Congrats to Adrian and his team.
North Division
January may go down in record as the month which turned around Newmarket Town’s season- it was certainly the month which turned them into real jump Jockeys, as they leapt out of the bottom four. They started 2025 by hammering Redbridge, followed that by winning a five goal thriller against Ipswich Wanderers, and then took on Sporting Bengal United twice in four days, defeating them two-one on both occasions. Michael Shinn has a shiny trophy heading his way- many congratulations Michael.
South Central Division
Our South Central prize is off to Portsmouth, as we prepare to deliver it to Glenn Turnbull, manager of magnificent Moneyfields. The Moneys have thrust themselves into the promotion picture after a rather wonderful January; a month which brought five matches, five wins and nineteen goals their way. Ashford Town and Binfield were hit for five, Guernsey for four, Southall for three and Uxbridge for two- and only the Tangerines and Green Lions even managed a consolation goal. Many congrats go to Glenn and his team.
South East Division
The battle between Ramsgate and Sittingbourne for South East supremacy continues, but so far as our January award goes the winners are the Rams, and boss Ben Smith. January brought five matches and five wins, and seventeen goals along with four clean sheets. Three Bridges and Beckenham Town were hit for five, Deal Town and Littlehampton Town saw three goals conceded (although the Golds put up a fight), and Erith Town went down narrowly, but it still meant a perfect fifteen points from fifteen for the Rams. Congrats to Ben, who we believe has so many of these he could open his own memorabilia shop. That wasn't a suggestion, by the way, we don't expect to see them on eBay!
