AFC Blackpool Manager Of The Month Award For March

AFC Blackpool manager Stuart Parker won the Division One Manager Of The Month Award for March.

Stuart's assistant Garry Hargreaves accepted the award on his behalf from League Management Committee representatives Geoff Wilkinson and Billy Singleton, prior to the game at home to Ashton Town on Tuesday night.

The Mechanics won the match 3-1 to go 4 points clear of second placed Runcorn Town at the top of the table, with both teams having played the same number of games.

AFC Blackpool are still in the running for three trophies this season as, alongside the league title chase, they are in the semi final of the First Division Cup and the quarter final of the League Challenge Cup.

They can take another step closer to promotion to the Premier Division on Saturday 9th April when they entertain Eccleshall in a First Divison match at Jepson Way - 3pm kick off.
