Kearney named Manager of the Month for March

COLERAINE manager Oran Kearney has been named as the NIFWA Manager of the Month for March…

It is the FOURTH time this season that Kearney has managed to collect the monthly accolade following successes in August, September and October. It has been a great month for the Stripes as they picked up league wins over Ballymena United, Ards and Carrick Rangers, as well as securing their spot in next month’s Tennent’s Irish Cup final.

Kearney said, “I would like to thank both BetMcLean and the Football Writers’ for this award, but the credit for our recent success must go to the players.

“I was pleased with the consistency of the team this season, against all the teams because some of those scrapping down near the bottom can be very hard to put away and we respect all of our opponents.

“It was a month of everything with the Irish Cup semi-final against Larne and all the games in the league, and to be fair the players all responded positively.”

NIFWA Chairman Keith Bailie said, “Coleraine were both superb in March, just as they have been all season.

“Oran is a very worthy winner of this award.”
