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.

Horsham YMCA manager Peter Buckland remained philosophical after his side’s ten match unbeaten run was halted by County League Division 1 leaders East Preston.

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.
