Awards for leaders and challengers

The promotion-hunting trio were officially crowned as the latest Team of the Month kings in the EVO-STIK League Southern Premier, Division One Central and Division One South & West at 10am on Friday.

Like all winners of the accolades, sponsored by the Southern League's title sponsors EVO-STIK again this season to recognise and reward the top performers among the 68 clubs playing in three divisions and League Cup, the clubs are now looking forward to being presented with cut glass trophies to record their success and 4.5L bottles of Bell's Whisky to celebrate with at upcoming fixtures by representatives of the league and sponsors EVO-STIK.

While Tiverton Town are looking forward to collecting their first award of the season and the promotion-chasing Bluebirds their second, the Crows are celebrating a third honour in Division One Central after previous wins in October and January.

Under the guidance of manager Steve Castle, Royston Town have been topping the EVO-STIK League Southern Division One Central table for much of the season.

Castle's side did their title hopes no harm in February to win their third accolade, taking the maximum 15 points from five straight wins, along the way scoring 15 goals and conceding just twice.

Chippenham Town boss Mark Collier and his top flight leaders collected their first performance award of the campaign back in August after their flying start to their EVO-STIK League Southern Premier Division campaign.

They've hardly let up since with a pack of clubs chasing them and in February did their challenge no harm, taking 16 points from a possible 18 on offer. Averaging 2.667 points per game from five wins and a draw, Collier's side scored 10 goals and conceded three.

After being named for the first time this season as their division's top performing side, Tiverton Town and manager Martyn Rogers are now the closest challengers to runaway EVO-STIK League Southern South & West leaders Hereford FC. To win their first accolade the promotion -chasers collected 12 points from four wins, averaging three points while scoring nine times and conceding twice.
