The last month has been another good one for Whyteleafe with three wins from six games and a positive move away from the relegation spots. Added to that Leafe manager, Nicky English won the Divisional Manager of the Month award for February and the team won the Divisional Performance of the Month award for their 5-4 win away at Met Police, the win that set them on their good run, which continued with back to back wins against Dulwich Hamlet (2-1) and Merstham (3-0). It seemed as if Leafe could do no wrong. However the curse of the Manager of the month award then struck, and Leafe stumbled to three consecutive defeats. Firstly a thumping 5-0 loss, away at Whitehawk, then a 4-3 defeat at home to Fleet after having lead 3-1. Finally a somewhat controversial 2-1 defeat to Met Police. The Met Police winner came in the very last minute and was scored after the referee had blown his whistle for an infringement. Bizarrely he then turned and indicated that the goal stood. Everyone in the ground seemed aware of the law that play stops as soon as the referee's whistle is blown. Everyone, apart from the referee that is! Heads could have dropped after that little run but the new improved Leafe are made of sterner stuff. The following Tuesday they travelled to Whitstable, a side also languishing at the wrong end of the table, and came away with the three points after a 4-3 win, although again they made it hard work having been 4-1 up at one stage. April is the last month of the season. You can be entertained on the 2nd v Burgess Hill, 22nd v Leatherhead and at the season finale on the 30th v Horsham YMCA. |
