OCTOBER TEAM OF THE MONTH

Horsham YMCA were this week officially named Sussex County League Division 1 team of the month for October, receiving their trophy during a presentation that took place before Wednesday evening's RUR Charity Cup tie at Peacehaven and Telscombe.

YM went unbeaten in the league all throughout October, picking up a maximum fifteen points from five league games and netting twenty-four goals in the process, as they brushed aside the likes of Pagham, Hassocks and Rye United.

YM manager Peter Buckland beamed: "We had a really nice presentation out on the pitch before the game on Wednesday, where we were awarded a lovely crystal trophy for the October team of the month.

"It was a really nice touch that marked all of the hard work and effort that saw us add to our undefeated run last month."  

YM's ten game unbeaten run was unfortunately brought to an end away at East Preston last Saturday, but they will hope to re-kindle some of the form that saw them crowned Division 1's best team for October, when they face Ardley United in the Second Round of the FA Vase tomorrow.

Second half goals from Alex Duncan and Craig Grantham wrapped up the points as EP extended their advantage at the top, and while YM boss Buckland was left to rue two soft goals he admitted the run had to end at some point.

Horsham YMCA came out of a hard-fought game with much-fancied Rye Utd as 2-0 winners to stretch their fantastic unbeaten run to ten matches.

Over a 90 minutes littered with chances at either end it was decided by small margins, hosts YM the more clinical with two first half goals from Scott Wason and Elliott Romain.

YM's Barrow to tackle Africa?!

Reserve Team Assistant Manager Steve Barrow will dash from the cup game at Molesy this Saturday 20th Oct to make his Mozambique bound flight from Heathrow.  Along with 41 others, he'll be attempting to cycle 600km's over 8 days raising much needed funds for the Macmillan Cancer Support Nurses.

This is Barrow's third significant cycle challenge having conquered Peru in 2006 and Lands End to John O'Groates in 2009.  "The 'experts' reckon this is the toughest challenge that Macmillan do so I am a little apprehensive as the others were hardly a walk in the park.  Work and football commitments have taken over this last six months and whilst not an excuse, it's not left a lot of time for cycle training.  I can be quite bloody minded and reckon I'll be relying on this when the going gets tough out there.  I've had my jabs for yellow fever, typhoid, malaria etc so I'm covered there.  I've not got that much meat on my bones so hoping the lions etc will be more interested in some of my colleagues so that just leaves the knackered knees, dodgy back problems and of course the effects on the bum from 8-10 hours a day in a saddle.  If one more person says "enjoy your holiday" I may refrain from biting my tongue!  On a serious note however, I am really looking forward to seeing a part of the world I've not visited before.  The beauty of doing it on a bike is that you actually get time to appreciate where you are."
