Andrew Murphy receives his Player of the Month Award
Tue 25th November 2025 | League Awards | By Martin Fallon
Andrew Murphy was recently presented with his First Division North Player of the Month award for September 2025. League Vice Chairman Geoff Wilkinson recently took a trip to Telford Town, and he is pictured presenting Andrew with his award after the game.
He is the first winner of this award for the club since November 2021 when Joe Noblet picked up this award.
Andrew has been a virtual ever present in the Garstang lineups since they came into the NWCFL back in 2018/19 season. The only time he was not there was when he signed for Squires Gate ahead of the 2024/25 season starting, however he soon returned after just a couple of appearances!
In the opening game of the month at home to MSB Woolton, he was instrumental in Garstang getting a point. He opened the scoring in the 11th minute of the game and then doubled the lead from the penalty spot midway through the second half. Unfortunately for him and Garstang, Woolton hit back with two goals in four minutes late on to grab a point.
Next up was a trip down the M55 to AFC Blackpool with Garstang returning with a point after a 1-1 draw. Once again Andrew was on the scoresheet, his goal six minutes from time giving Garstang the lead although a late, late leveller meant it was honours even.
The final game of the month for Andrew came at higher ranked Northallerton Town in the Isuzu FA Vase. Garstang lost 2-0 in that game with both goals coming in the second half.
In total, three games and three goals for Andrew!
Congratulations to Andrew on a fine month.
