Spreadsheets checked, results filled in and PPG calculated. The official Football in Berkshire Men’s Team of the Month for August 2024 is..
Actually we’ll build the suspense a little more.
Team of the Month is back. You may recall we attempted to run it last season but weren’t quite organised enough with the data to pull it off month on month. So we’re better organised and have two data sources, including our friends at the excellent NonLeagueHQ on Twitter.
For August, the Team of the Month has been calculated from sides who have played more than two games so far. There will be a separate Women’s Team of the Month once the seasons in the FA Women’s National League, Southern Region Women’s League and Thames Valley Counties Women’s Football League get off and running in September.

In the meantime, following an excellent start to the season that has seen them garner 2.67 points per game from nine fixtures is… Windsor & Eton.
The Royalists are newly promoted to Step 6 this season and have won eight and lost one of their nine matches in August. NonLeagueHQ tell us The Royalists are undefeated at home and on a run of seven straight wins.
Vanarama National League South Slough Town are second in the Team of the Month table with a PPG of 2.5 while Tadley Calleva are third on 2.17.
Team of the Month rules
A teams performance is measured by points per game (PPG). The Team of the Month calculation includes league AND cup games.
All matches from the first of the month to the last day of the month are included.
Teams must have played a reasonable number of games in any given month relative to other teams to qualify for the monthly table. In August this was deemed as more than two.
A monthly table will run concurrently alongside an overall season table.
August Goals
In front of goal Adam Crocker is the star man with four for the Team of the Month, but he’s not the hottest goal-getter in August, that is shared between Travis Lewis of Windsor and Will May of Eversley & California. Meanwhile Cyril Ocansey of Holyport has five as does Burnham’s Jabir Laraba.
