Meet Your National League Managers Of The Month!

Following a fantastic four weeks, the top bosses from the three divisions have come forward to collect their awards.

Very rarely does a manager receive back-to-back acknowledgement, but the stats don’t lie for York City and Adam Hinshelwood.

The Minstermen ended the month on a 12-match unbeaten run and got better as the games went on.

They burst into November on the back of a fine 3-1 win over then-leaders Barnet and a dramatic last-gasp turnaround win over FC Halifax Town, scoring two goals in stoppage time to earn what seemed like an unlikely win.

The drama arrived after simple victories over Biggleswade Town in the FA Cup and Ebbsfleet United in the league. They’ve conceded just nine goals so far and outscored everyone last month.

Weston-super-Mare manager Scott Bartlett wants to create history and his Seagulls are already in full flight.

Their season started slowly with two defeats but since those losses they’ve not looked back - and haven’t lost a National League South game since!

Weston extended the run to 15 games last month, and October saw them climb to top of the table and into the FA Cup first round with some impressive showings.

They beat Chippenham Town, Welling United, Salisbury and Aveley in a brilliant few weeks, as well as claiming a useful point against Boreham Wood.

That 13-point return was enough to convince the panel that Bartlett and his brilliant team needed to be honoured.

Their National League North nod went to Craig Mahon, the player-manager continues to inspire as Curzon Ashton mix it with the so-called ‘bigger’ sides once again.

The Nash could be on course for one of their best-ever seasons and Mahon is developing a reputation as a boss who means business.

He proved that with another impressive run of results as his team ended the month just two points behind leaders Scunthorpe United.

A superb win against Chester - their first 4-0 win four over four years - capped October off fittingly. They had already beaten Buxton, King’s Lynn Town and Scarborough Athletic and Mahon’s men are up there on merit.

Congratulations to our three winners!
