Ryan Goodwin receives his Player of the Month Award
Mon 3rd March 2025 | League Awards | By Martin Fallon
Sandbach United's Ryan Goodwin was recently presented with his First Division South Player of the Month winner for January 2025.
League Chairman Paul Lawler and League Ambassador Andrew Reid recently took a trip to Sandbach United, and they are pictured presenting Ryan with his award prior to the game.
Ryan switched to Sandbach in October from Alsager Town, but he is no stranger to this level having appeared for Stone Old Alleynians and Alsager as long ago as 2017. He has made over a hundred NWCFL appearances, as well as appearances in the Midland League for Stone.
Ryan actually missed the first game of the month for Sandbach as he was in Baku. He was not on holiday though. Ryan is a key member of the Great Britain Handball Team, and he was playing for Great Britain in the European Championship Qualifiers, helping his side to wins over Malta and Cyprus plus a draw against Bulgaria.
Upon returning home, he faced the prospect of three away games with Sandbach inside eight days, the first being a trip to Eccleshall. Ryan gave Sandbach the lead with a goal from close range where he was the first to react to the second ball from a corner. This proved to be the winning goal in a fixture in which Eccleshall will have been bitterly disappointed to have not taken points with Ryan called upon numerous times in the game to make clearances and key tackles.
Next up was a visit to Hyde United, a team three leagues higher in the Northern Premier League Premier Division. This was in the Quarter Finals of the Cheshire Senior Cup, with Hyde playing their full strength team. It was a tricky night for Ryan and his team, with Hyde running out easy winners, but he led with experience to his younger teammates.
The final game of the month was a trip to his old team Alsager, with Ryan giving a master class on the edge of the box and ensuring there was no easy route through for Alsager. He also opened the scoring his side, setting them on the path to victory.
A fantastic month for Ryan, who we also wish the best of luck to with his handball expolits. We will be watching for sure!
Congratulations Ryan!
