Mathew came into the side late on in the month but could be a key signing after some uncertainty over the goalkeeper’s position which saw three men don the number 1 shirt during the month.

In the games he played, Mathew showed composure well beyond his tender years as his communication is excellent, calming his defenders in front of him and setting a more solid base for the team.

He commands his box well both physically and verbally and has shown some excellent agility as well making some fine saves during his three matches and also showing a keen eye in one on one situations. He was unbeaten by two penalties in his début game against Holker Old Boys in which he earned a man of the match award, and he rounded off the month with another man of the match performance in a victory at Daisy Hill.
