BLACKFIELD & Langley's brilliant introduction to Evo-Stik Division One South football has been acknowledged by the league.

Glenn Howes' Watersiders, promoted as Sydenhams Wessex champions last season, have been named club-of-the-month for September.

They will be presented with an engraved glass memento and a cheque to spend on pitch maitainance.

Blackfield - home to Melksham Town on Saturday (3pm) - have taken to Southern League football like ducks to water.

They are currently second in the table on goal difference behind leaders Yate Town, having won five of their first eight league games and drawn two.
