Heys keeper presented with First Division North Award

Heys goalkeeper Michael Smith was presented with the Reusch Goalkeeper of the Month Award for November for the Hallmark Security League First Division North.

League Official Stewart Taylor presented Mike (pictured) with a pair of Reusch Goalkeeping gloves prior last weekend, before the game with Longridge was postponed.

His testimonial for the award read:

November was Mike’s first full month since returning as Heys’ first choice keeper and he was in excellent form throughout, playing in nine games in a busy month for the club.

Behind a defence that was in mean mood in November, barring one blip, Mike started by collecting a Man of the Match award at St Helens Town, a string of blocks and saves helping keep out the home side on numerous occasions.

He was again in defiant form in his side's Buildbase FA Vase tie against Northwich Victoria, making crucial saves in a goalless draw, and was only beaten by a late goal in the replay.

A further clean sheet was kept against Cleator Moor Celtic, and by the end of the month, Mike had played his part in a run that saw Heys record six wins and a draw in the nine games played.

Congratulations from all at the club go to Mike on this award.
