Our first Players of the Month have been decided by you, as Beqa Mikeltadze takes out the Men’s award for November/December, and Emily Van Egmond wins the Women’s for her performances in December.
EMILY VAN EGMOND
The Matildas star only joined the Club for three games but shone bright across them.
The hometown hero helped the team to two wins and one draw in December, securing one assist, nine key passes/shot assists and averaged almost 40 passes per game (the second-most in the team).
She won possession in the midfield 16 times, and received one player of the match throughout the month.
Van Egmond received 22% of the votes, with Kirsty Fenton next behind with 14% respectively.
Van Egmond has since left the Club following her short stint to join the Matildas training camp in preparation for the upcoming AFC Women’s Asian Cup.
BEQA MIKELTADZE
In his first five games, Mikeltadze has proven he’s a force to be reckoned with in this league.
The Georgian joined at the start of pre-season and has hit the ground running as he currently leads the league’s golden boot tally with four goals, and has also been a provider with nine key passes/shot assists and one assist to his name.
Beqa has also successfully completed 86% of his passes and also has a player of the match title to his name.
Mikeltadze received 29% of the total votes, with fellow international player Daniel Penha coming close behind with 23%.
