From earlier this season.

October in the Boca Championship delivered plenty of talking points, but one individual performance stood out enough to earn official recognition at the time — and it’s worth revisiting during the festive break.

That month belonged to David Connolly of Rhu Colts, whose influence in midfield was impossible to overlook as the fixtures stacked up.

The Boca Championship produced plenty of notable performances in October, with one Rhu Colts player playing a central role in his side’s results during that spell.

This month, however, there has been no ignoring David Connolly. His performances have been superb, earning him the well-deserved October Player of the Month award.

Since joining Rhu Colts in the summer from St Pats, David has quickly become an important part of the squad. His experience has brought balance to the group, particularly benefiting younger players through his leadership and example on the pitch.

Across October, his performances consistently showed his quality and influence in midfield. That form was underlined in the West of Scotland Cup tie against Woodbank, where he scored a hat-trick and provided an assist in a decisive display. He posed problems for the opposition throughout and played a key role whenever Rhu Colts were on the front foot.

THE GAFFER

David Connolly

Since joining us in August after a spell away from football, David Connolly has quickly shown he can be a key player for this team.

A proper old-fashioned winger, David combines hard work with real quality in the final third—timing his runs into the box superbly and always looking to take on fullbacks and hit the byline.

He’s become a reliable out ball when we’re under pressure and a real creative force in attack. His improvement game by game has been outstanding, and his performances this month have been unbelievable.

The exciting thing for us—and not so much for our opponents—is that there’s still even more to come from him.
