Joseph Bickerstaffe Receives Reusch UK Goalkeeper of the Month Award
Wed 16th October 2024 | League Awards | By Martin Fallon
We were delighted to catch up recently with the Reusch UK First Division North Goalkeeper of the Month award winner for September 2024.
Atherton LR Goalkeeper Joseph Bickerstaffe received the award from League Director Ian Williams who carried out the presentation on behalf of the League and our sponsors Reusch UK. He is pictured alongside fellow goalkeeper Charlie Burgess and Goalkeeper Coach Garry Williams. Joseph recieves a pair of Goalkeeper Gloves from one of Reuch UK's leading range of Goalkeeper products.
The LR number one played in all four of his sides games in the month, keeping a clean sheet in three of them and conceding just one goal in the other to help his side to a superb FA Vase win against a higher ranked opponent.
The month started with a tough looking trip to Ashton Town. It was a game of few chances in a goalless draw, with Bickerstaffe dominating in the air to thwart Ashton's crosses and pulling out a fine save in the second half to get his side the point.
Next was Maghull at home and a relatively comfortable afternoon with a 3-0 win. Keepers have to be alert at all times though, with a commanding save by Bickerstaffe keeping his side 2-0 up at the start of the second half from a Maghull free kick. This result made it five successive clean sheets for LR.
Premier Division Cheadle Town were next to visit Crilly Park in the FA Vase. Bickerstaffe kept his side in it with some excellend stops but conceded seconds before half time. It was the first goal Bickerstaffe and LR had conceded in 521 minutes of action! The second half saw LR step it up a gear and were rewarded with a 3-1 win and a place in the next round.
Final game for LR in September came courtesey of some Friday Night Football as LR hosted neighbours Daisy Hill. It was a dominating performance as LR ran out 6-0 winners, with Bickerstaffe keeping his eighth clean sheet of the season and his sixth successive clean sheet in the First Division North.
Congrations again Joseph!
