Garvary's Matt Reade wins FA Grassroots Goal of the Month


Garvary United's Matt Reade has won the FA Grassroots Goal of the Month for November.

Sky Sports' Chris Kamara selected the goal on the shortlist of three, out of which a winner would be crowned following a public vote.

The midfield talisman curled home an exquisite free-kick with unerring accuracy on his weaker foot to send the Goldenbears into a 3-2 88th minute lead in their home Premier Division fixture against Holtford.

Reade was in buoyant mood upon receiving the news.

"First of all I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who voted and to those who helped to drum up support for the goal.

"I think I speak for all of the team when I say that it's greatly appreciated.

"On a personal level, it's a fantastic honour to win and I really am chuffed to bits.

"Special thanks to Mark Carter for capturing the goal and entering it into the competition and to Marc Baker for constantly badgering everyone on a social networking site to vote.

"Once again, thanks to everyone who voted and the entire Garvary army for being so great.

"Now let's push on and win the league!"

The prizes include the newly-released Umbro Speciali boots for a squad of 18, team kit, hurdles, cones, bibs, match and training balls, and a specially designed 'Goal of the Month' t-shirt for goal-hero Matt Reade.

A presentation is expected in due course.
