Oxford United's fine form in September has been recognised in two national awards.

Manager Chris Wilder is the winner of the Blue Square Manager of the Month award. It is the second month in a row that Chris has won the award and comes after six wins from seven matches for the U's.

Keeper Ryan Clarke's exceptional form has earned him the Blue Square Player of the month award as well. Ryan and his defence kept five clean sheets during the seven games in the month and set a new club record into the bargain.

Chris said: "It's another great honour for the club and we thank Blue Square for their continued support. We have started the season very well and will look to build on another good month. I am very pleased for Ryan and the defence who deserve the recognition. Everything we do is as a team and these awards are nice recognition of all the hard work that everyone has put in."
