DSA| DSA vote Mickey Demetriou as March Player of the Month

27 April 2018

The DSA members voted for their March player of the month and the winner was Mickey Demetriou. He won with 35% of the vote, Dan Butler came second with 26% and a joint third were goal scorers Josh Sheehan and Paul Hayes.

The member presenting the award this month is Christopher Thomas and the reason he voted for Mickey to win was because “he's one of the players that's played consistently well in his position.”

Mickey chipped in with two goals against Coventry and Crewe and has been a reliable defender not just through April but also throughout the whole season.

Christopher became a member of the DSA because it is a “very important part of the of our football club and they do very good work for all our supporters both home and away.”

Christopher has close friends and family who have disabilities who attend games not just at Rodney Parade but all over the country. He recalls the time, when in bitterly cold conditions, he could see the DSA volunteers going out to all the disabled and elderly fans giving out blankets for warmth. Christopher became a member to support the vital work of the DSA and its volunteers. He finishes by saying “Keep up the amazing work and Up the County!”

Our Next vote is the Player of the Year award which is dedicated to Herbert Howard. Herbert was a passionate supporter of the club who sadly passed away at the age of 95. He is the Honorary Chairman of the DSA and we have dedicated this award to Herbert’s memory after the family asked the DSA to receive the donations made at Herbert’s funeral.
