Danny Potter

Player and Manager of the month award

Cambridge United goalkeeper Danny Potter has been voted by fans as the Blue Square Premier "Player of the Month" for April.

Potter registered the highest amount of votes this season for his performances during the month.

The former Chelsea youngster kept 4 clean sheets and only conceded 3 goals in over 500 minutes of Blue Square Premier league action.

Danny was instrumental in United's push for second place in the table, which has seen them progress all the way to Wembley in the play-off final.

The award in the Blue Square North goes to Nick Rogan of Barrow. The striker was a key part of the Blue Square North's "form team" as they secured a play-off spot and worked their way towards a place in the Blue Square Premier.

Rogan netted 4 times during the period including a brace in the 5-0 victory over Redditch United.

Hampton & Richmond striker Lawrence Yaku wins the Blue Square South award after maintaining his sides' good form with a number of important goals and assists during the month.

Yaku found the net 4 times as Alan Devonshire's side finished in the highest position in their history.

Patterson wins manger of the month award

Oxford United's Darren Patterson has won the Blue Square Premier "Manager of the Month" award for April.

Patterson's side won six out of their last seven Blue Square Premier matches to finish ninth in the table, after spending much of the season below halfway.

The side scored fifteen goals with some outstanding attacking play that must have all U's fans licking their lips at the prospect of the 2008/09 campaign.

The only defeat came in a hard-fought encounter away at promotion-chasers Torquay United. The 5-1 win over Farsley Celtic and the 3-1 win away at Ebbsfleet United were the highlights of a fantastic month.

In the Blue Square South the award goes to Maidenhead United manager Johnson Hippolyte.

Maidenhead began the month with the threat of relegation hanging over them after defeat at fellow strugglers Dorchester Town.

Hippolyte's side then went on to win three successive matches scoring 10 goals and only conceding once, to ease their fears of the drop.

Two further clean sheets in their final two games gave them the points for a respectable seventeenth place finish and another season in the Blue Square South.

Dean Thomas of Hinckley United has won the award in the Blue Square North.

Hinckley extended their unbeaten run from the early weeks of March to nine matches during the period.

The Knitters achieved safety from relegation with their excellent run and ended up six points from the drop zone on the final day of the season.

Three successive clean sheets in their final Blue Square North games ensured the team will take their place in the division next season.
