It's Time To Meet November's National League Award Winners!

By Sam Elliott

We’re delighted to introduce you to the National League’s November winners - and with the division’s big hitters often hogging the headlines, it’s two of the unexpected candidates taking the honours.

Woking fans were hoping their team could make a play for the play-offs this season.

They didn’t think they would be on the coattails of fancied Wrexham, Chesterfield and Notts County with Christmas on the horizon.

It’s difficult to accept Darren Sarll only took over in March, such has been the club’s progress.

The Cards were 16th when he got the job three months into 2022 and they ended last month fourth and full of confidence.

They collected 24 points at home in the entirety of last season – by the end of last month the Surrey side have almost matched that tally.

Wins over the Manager of the Month’s old club Yeovil Town, Bromley and Boreham Wood kept the pressure up.

Super recruitment in the form of Padraig Amond, Rhys Browne and Reece Grego-Cox has turned the team into a force to be reckoned with.

Only five sides have scored more goals than Woking and Sarll has the club in its best shape for many years.

Wealdstone fans knew all too well that with no obvious struggler this time, the battle down the bottom would be intense.

It’s a good job then that Stuart Maynard wasn’t interested in being a part of it!

Jack Cook said earlier this season that the Stones fear nobody.

Last month they made up for a poor October by beating Altrincham, York City and Scunthorpe United. They held Wrexham too, becoming only the third team to stop them scoring.

Defender Cook was immense that day, as he was at York where he scored a very late winner.

They ended November in tenth, just one point off the play-offs.

If Cook and co keep their strong end to the year up, anything could be possible in 2023!

Well done two out two brilliant winners.
