Stockport’s Ball Wins Top North Player Award For March

Stockport are hitting top form at just the right time. The Hatters have now won six National League North games in a row and a run of four victories towards the end of March helped lay the foundations.

Jim Gannon’s men bounced back from defeats to Brackley Town in both the FA Trophy and league to give themselves a fantastic chance of securing a play-off spot.

One of County’s stand out men in March was midfielder Jimmy Ball. Despite the scoring prowess of Jason Oswell and Matthew Warburton, Ball chipped in with four goals of his own during the month.

Crucial winners at Gainsborough Trinity and Bradford Park Avenue, and a brace against Leamington, caught the eye.

Ball has been given licence to get forward from a deeper midfield role and he has taken full of advantage to help drive County forward towards a top seven place.
