MANarama National League South Manager of the Month – Neil Baker and John Underwood, Slough Town
They are the young, up-and-coming managerial pair who are actually closing in on their 500th match at the helm.
It's now nine years since Jon Underwood and Neil Baker, once affectionately dubbed the touchline Ant & Dec, started their own show.
While the Geordie duo goes together brilliantly, many still maintain joint managers just don't work. Well, they've once again proved that theory wrong after another magical month.
Wins over , , Borough and Dartford rubbished Slough Town's slow start. It took them up into the play-off places as well.
There is something about the Rebels and September.
Last year they did exactly the same, winning every one of their National League South games and progressed in the .
But last season they missed the play-off boat. Can they go one step for a year on?

MANarama National League South Player of the Month – Warren Harris, Slough Town
Everyone's talking about in the National League South, aren't they?
Wrong. With four-straight wins, Slough Town are upsetting the conversation just a little bit – no small part down to Warren Harris.
The Rebels scored impressive wins against Hampton & Richmond Borough, Dartford, Eastbourne Borough and in-form Hemel Hempstead Town.
They say one man doesn't make a team, but where would Slough be without Harris?
He scored the winner against Eastbourne and Hemel Hempstead meaning without his goals, Town would only just be in the top ten – take out his goals across the season and Slough would be way down in 16th.
