Premier Division

We’re heading to Hayes Lane, where we honour Cray Wanderers boss Neil Smith. The turnaround in form at the Wands since Neil took the reins last season has been truly remarkable, and December saw him steer his side into the top five. It was an unbeaten month, with four wins and a draw from five matches and some scintillating performances- which saw them score fifteen goals, so Wands fans are not only seeing their side pick up points, they are being royally entertained.

Congratulations to Neil, and to all at the club.

North Division

December saw Hashtag United nail their promotion credentials firmly to the Pitching In Isthmian North Division mast. An average of more than three goals a game, a perfect win record and clean sheets galore left them in second place as we entered the New Year- and whether you watch them in person or on video, you can’t argue that the football has been anything other than scintillating. Many congratulations to Jay Devereux, who continues to do a remarkable job and picks up our December prize.

South Central Division

December dawned with Thatcham Town in a rather precarious position, but as the month came to an end the Kingfishers were much further up the table, courtesy of a trio of impressive wins, a one hundred percent record and some fine performances. Ashford Town, Tooting & Mitcham United and Uxbridge were vanquished, two of them to nil, and we’re sending our congratulations to Yashwa Romeo, who deservedly picks up our December prize.

South East Division

For the second month in a row our prize is heading to the Kent coast, and for the arms of Ramsgate boss Steve Lovell. The Rams consolidated their position at the top of the Pitching In Isthmian South East table with an unbeaten December- a month when they conceded only one goal, and which contained notable victories over fellow promotion-chasers Whitehawk and neighbours Hythe Town.

Congratulations to Steve, and to everyone else at Southwood.
