Burgess Hill boss Ian Chapman named Manager of the Month

Chapman led his Hillians on a winning run last month in all competitions to help the league leaders go 10 points clear at the top of the Ryman South table. As well as taking maximum points from all six of their Ryman South outings, they’re looking forward to flying the flag for the Ryman League in the FA Cup’s penultimate qualifying round this weekend after knocking Croydon and then Fleet Town out of the competition with both victories coming away from home.

As well as being presented with framed certificates to mark the achievement at a forthcoming fixture, Chapman can look forward to being measured up for bespoke new suits by the Surrey-based suit and menswear specialists after they were named on Monday as the second winners of this season’s managerial accolades.

Nicholas Rowe Tailoring agreed a unique new sponsorship partnership last month that will see them kitting out all the divisional winners of the awards as well as the overall Nicholas Rowe Tailoring Managers of the Year.

Like the inaugural winners of the newly sponsored accolades in August, the Hillians boss will be able to choose from three colours at the long established company’s 7000 sq ft Suit-City in Redhill. There is no restriction on the number of suits managers can win.
