Congratulations to manager Jay Saunders who has been awarded the Vita Risk Solutions Isthmian Premier Division Manager of the Month for September.

Invicta won three league fixtures against Whitehawk, Aveley and Burgess Hill Town, scoring 12 goals in the process to leave us in second behind early leaders Brentwood Town.

Jay Saunders’ side also produced two FA Cup upsets in September, beating Maidstone United and Horsham, although these results don’t count towards the award.

On his achievement, Jay said: “It’s always a pleasure to win an award like this, but it really is a team effort. I couldn’t do it without Blacky, Parky, and all the backroom staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes.

“The players have been outstanding. Their effort and attitude has been a real testament to us and what we’re building. They’ve fully bought into the project and the standards we expect.

“A big thank you as well to the supporters who’ve continued to back us even while we’ve been away from home.”

Congratulations to Jay and his management team on the award – it’s thoroughly deserved for a fantastic start to the season.
