The Enterprise National League South winners for October are announced as we crown the month’s top performers.

Our panel pondered over the four nominations in each category before coming to their decisions following an inspiring four weeks for quite a few.

Josh Wright takes the Manager of the Month accolade after transforming Ebbsfleet United’s standing start to a quickfire challenge at the top.

They even spent some time at the summit after climbing from 21st thanks to six fantastic league wins over Folkestone Invicta, Hampton & RB, AFC Totton, Weston-super-Mare, Maidenhead and the then-league leaders Maidstone United.

After a hectic period, he was nominated for the second month running.

Wright saw his side pick up more points than anyone else in the division in October - 19 from eight games.

The Fleet scored 23 goals along the way and were never once behind in six of those matches.

He saw off competition from Brian Dutton (Salisbury) Mark Cooper (Chelmsford City) and John Askey (Truro City) to secure the award.

But the Tinners don’t miss out - Tyler Harvey takes the Player of the Month.

He gets recognition after firing Truro to the top of the division after an unbeaten league month that took them from sixth to first place.

Striker Harvey scored seven times in all competitions in October, and found the net in four of the club’s five league games.

The stand-out was his winner in the remarkable 4-3 comeback success at Hampton & RB. He was also the key man when then-leaders Ebbsfleet United were swept aside 3-0.

He had some stiff competition to defeat with Horsham’s Jamie Yila, Fleet’s impressive Lennon Peake and Nathan Harness of Tonbridge Angels also up for the award.

Congratulations to both our winners!
