YSOSRS Player Of The Month: August

To quote the great manager Sir Alex, YSOSRS finds itself at the time of the season that is infamously known as the 'squeaky-bum time'. More often than not, teams who are battling for places throughout the table tend to only have 1 thing on their mind, and that is to put in a performance good enough to secure the points needed for the team.

With that, having secured a highly impressive 4 wins and a single defeat in the last 5 games, YSOSRS have more or less steadied the ship after having had to endure a series of wretched results mid-way through the season with 3 consecutive losses being recorded. We are back at the top of the heap now with a mere 2 games left to go in the season. The equation is as simple as such. 2 games, 2 wins and we will be in the promise land.

This series of impressive victories in the month of august is without doubt as a result of the reappearance of this man in our ranks. Not only is he strong but he is also an astute reader of the game and also the calming influence within the team. Definitely one man that every team needs. A proper player, an old fashioned no nonsense defender.

Therefore, YSOSRS FC's Player of the month for August goes to..... El capitain, HIZAM!!

Very much the Nemanja Vidic of the team, the captain has gone about his business in unerring fashion. Forever organising the backline and driving the team on with some solid defending at the back. It has to be said that, the decision to acknowledge his performances comes after considering the fact that he was not only forever present and tough tackling, but also that he was fasting like all the other muslim guys in the team, during these matches. This makes his performances all the more impressive and thus this award totally justifiable.

Being the captain of the team, hizam whose character tip toes relatively towards the introverted and shy side whilst off the field, is an imposing figure whilst on it. His teammates constantly look to him as a positive influence and it is without doubt that he has led by example. Although footie is a team game, the captain has indeed made himself an indispensable player to have within the ranks.

Thoughts by the gaffer: From day one, Zam has impressed with his ability to lead and be vocal whilst on the field. The fact that he takes his responsibility seriously and places them squarely on his shoulders every saturday while playing leaves me with nothing but praise for the man. Without wanting to go overboard with my praise, i will have to say that the man has firmly established himself as a vital cog in the way the team plays and i hope to have him available for not only our remaining 2 big games, but also in future as our team progresses. Well done on your stellar performances throughout August and I hope that it continues on for Sept. Hopefully, this will not be the only silverware that you lift in the next 3 weeks! Kudos to you bro.
