PLAYER OF THE MONTH: A QUIET KIND OF DOMINANCE

No theatrics, no headlines – just an unbeaten month from the middle of the park, and a monthly award nobody argued with.

Gareth Quinlan’s month reads three wins, two draws and a goal in the 4-3 at Lowbridge. The rest doesn’t show up on a highlights reel: the second balls, the covering runs, the passes that start the move before the move. The supporters’ vote was a formality.

“I’d rather be useful than spectacular,” Quinlan shrugged. “Win the game, then we can talk.”
