Jacob Kirwan Receives Reusch UK Goalkeeper of the Month Award
Thu 7th November 2024 | League Awards | By Martin Fallon
We were delighted to catch up recently with Jacob Kirwan, the Reusch UK First Division South Goalkeeper of the Month award winner for September 2024.
Winsford United's number one received his award from League Director Ian Williams who carried out the presentation on behalf of the League and our sponsors Reusch UK. He recieves a pair of Goalkeeper Gloves from one of Reuch UK's leading range of Goalkeeper products.
Jacob was at Winsford in the 2021/22 season before moving to Barnton and then Alsager Town, but returned to the Barnton Stadium at the start of this season. His constant communication to the team and defensive unit in front of him affords him the opportunity to keep so many clean sheets and lays the foundation for the team to attack with the confidence they are solid at the back.
The first game in September for Jacob was away at Wolverhampton Sporting Community. A good performance from Jacob was decisive in a 2-1 away win, and he was unlucky not to keep a clean sheet with Wolves' goal bouncing off both goalposts before nestling in the net!
A clean sheet followed in the next game as Winsford beat Market Drayton Town 7-0 in the Edward Case Cup, and Jacob kept another clean sheet in the next game as they played out a goalless draw with Runcorn Town. Both games saw Jacob alert and on his game for the entirety to ensure that Winsford did not concede.
The third game of the month saw Winsford put in a good performance in the FA Vase to win 3-1 at Maine Road. Cruising 3-0 at the break, Maine Road hit back at the start of the second half, with Jacob and his defensive unit putting in a great performance in the second half to secure his side the win.
Jacob then kept his third clean sheet in four games as Winsford closed out September with a 1-0 win at Shawbury United. Leading from a goal just after the break, it was another good defensive display to record another clean sheet.
Congratulations to Jacob once again on his Award!
