Three Maidstone United and two Dartford players have made it into the National League South team of the year after excellent seasons for their clubs.

Meanwhile, Joan Luque has picked up the prestigious player of the year award having scored twenty times for Maidstone United as they were promoted to the National League.

The success for The Stones doesn’t end there though as manager Hakan Hayrettin getting the year’s top boss accolade as they held their nerve when it mattered.

The all-star XI is voted for by the clubs and not only do those who make an impression on the pitch get recognition, those who do a great job off it are too – the Programme of the Year is also crowned, and it’s those reading every week who decide the winner.

With such a rich array of attacking talent, and well as some sensational weekly performances at his own club, the Player of Year was hotly contested.

Joan Luque did some real damage for Maidstone United, the Spaniard scoring 20 goals as the Stones eventually strolled towards the title – it was enough to see the 29-year-old honoured.

Alfie Rutherford incredibly managed ten more goals than Luque – he scooped the Top Scorer award as he finished ahead of St Albans City striker Shaun Jeffers.

The scoring sensation helped himself over the line by his antics in April, with a four-goal salvo fired against Concord Rangers.

Along with Luque, Maidstone United had two other players in the team of the year with Joe Ellul and Jerome Binnom-Williams honoured.

Meanwhile, Dartford’s Tom Bonner and Jack Jebb were named in the best eleven alongside former Gillingham defender Barry Fuller who now plys his trade for Dorking Wanderers who face Ebbsfleet United in the play-off final on Saturday.

Chelmsford City’s media team are rewarded for a brilliant read, the Clarets boast the Programme of the Year.
