Tanya Oktoby, the head coach of the women’s team of “Newcastle United” won the award of the best manager of the 2nd of September of the Barclays Women’s Super League.
Oxtoby’s side make the perfect start to their promotion campaign.
Newcastle United Women have won all their league matches in the opening month of the season.
Only the champions of the second tier are guaranteed promotion to the Super League.
Newcastle United Women started the season with a 2-0 home win over Wolves Women before beating Bristol City 1-0 at Ashton Gate.
Tanya Oxtoby then guided her team to two more home wins, 4-1 against Sheffield United and 4-0 away to Leicester City.
So we scored 11 goals in September and got a perfect 12 points from four league matches conceding just one.
Newcastle United Women have made a perfect start to the season with four league wins, scoring 11 goals and conceding just one as they look to win the title and promotion to Super League.
That form continued into October and it was a perfect five league wins to start the season at the weekend, this time 3-0 away at Durham.
So, the second level table looks like this:
