HAVANT and Waterlooville manager Lee Bradbury has won the Isthmian League manager of the year at their annual AGM at Wembley. The Hawks gaffer was voted for this award by his fellow peers after guiding the Hawks to what is now known as the Bostik league title following a tense final day at Kingstonian pipping Bognor Regis Town to the title after beating them 5 days prior.
The Hawks won 28 games last term with just 8 defeats notching an impressive 94 points to get over the line. That making up for the heartbreaking relegation 12 months prior on the final day against Weston-Super-Mare. This seasons record though would be considered unsurprising considering the fact that Bradbury and Shaun Gale work immensely behind the scenes of the club with anything they don’t look at not worth being looked at.
With Bradbury captaining the ship with a new 2 year contract aboard he has already shown that he wants to challenge in their first season back in the Vanarama National League South. Having kept the nucleus of the title winning squad backed up with the recent signing of former AFC Wimbledon and Portsmouth front man Matt Tubbs a statement has been made by the boss and club for next season.
We would all like to congratulate Lee Bradbury on his latest honour and look forward to more success in the coming season.
