Wilkins named Robins Player of the Month for August 2018

Jack Wilkins has been named as the first Robins Player of the Month for the 2018-19 season, winning August’s award with 48% of the vote.

The 20-year-old forward started six games out of seven, only missing the 2-1 victory over Crawley Down Gatwick in the Sussex RUR Principal Charity Cup.



He won the man-of-the-match awards in the 6-0 defeat at home to Chichester City United and most impressively, during the Robins finest win of the season to date when they left Mill Road with all three points after a 3-1 victory over Arundel.

It is the first time Wilkins has been in the top three of a Player of the Month award and a rich reward for his excellent start to the campaign.

Harvey Blake’s flying start to life at the Beacon has seen the young full back voted into second spot with 26% of the vote.

Blake arrived from Mid Sussex League side Sporting Lindfield in the summer and after coming off the bench for lively cameos in his first two appearances for the Robins, he has been a regular starter in the next four games, winning the man-of-the-match award in the 4-1 defeat to Saltdean United.

In third was Phil Johnson, rounding off a hugely successful first month back at the Beacon following his return from Horsham YMCA.

Johnson netted four times in five August games, scoring twice in the win over Arundel as well as the games with Crawley Down and Saltdean. That goal against the Tigers was his 50th for the club.
