Dartford manager Tony Burman has been named the Blue Square Bet Premier ‘manager of the month’ for September.

The Kent side have found their feet in non-League’s top-flight with a fantastic few weeks taking sixteen points from a possible twenty-one in the period.

A 2-1 home win over early leaders Newport County was one of the highlights, but they also drew 2-2 at last season’s runners-up Wrexham.

Their fifth win of an incredible month came on Saturday when they beat Hyde FC 2-1 to move into the play-off zone.

Having been one of the favourites for relegation they have now seen those odds drift out to 8/1 whilst their title odds have plummeted from a high of 400/1 in to just 40/1!

Meanwhile, the Blue Square Bet South ‘player of the month’ for September is Pierre Joseph-Dubois from Bromley.

The striker has scored six times in as many matches for The Lillywhites during the period. With three of those proving decisive in 1-0 wins over Truro City and Bath City in the league and away at Sutton United in the FA Cup.

The former Hayes & Yeading forward also bagged a brace in the 4-0 home victory over Hornchurch which kick-started Bromley’s rise up the league table.
