Blue Square Announce “Manager of the Month” Winners for February


Cambridge United’s Jimmy Quinn has won the Blue Square Premier "Manager of the Month" award for February. Quinn's side remained unbeaten as they negotiated a number of tricky fixtures throughout the period to go third in the table. The U's beat fellow promotion hopefuls Forest Green and Stevenage - as well as holding table-toppers Aldershot to a goalless draw followed by an away win at Halifax. Setanta Blue Square Premier pundit Paul Parker had this to say about Quinn - "When you look at the quality of the opposition that Cambridge faced, the fact they remained unbeaten was a real achievement." Quinn is the first manager this season to pick up a second monthly award, after scooping the November prize.

In the Blue Square South the award goes to Bishop's Stortford manager Martin Hayes. The former Arsenal striker led his team to four wins and a draw, their only defeat coming in the 1-0 away reverse at high-flyers Lewes. Hayes’ side scored a remarkable 15 goals in their six games, hitting five of those in their home win over Bognor Regis.

Harry Dunn of Blyth Spartans has won the award in the Blue Square North. The Spartans have been in fantastic form that has seen them move eleven points clear of the relegation places in the Blue Square North table. Dunn’s side achieved three wins and three draws in their six matches – their wins coming against sides in the top half of the table notably Harrogate Town and Southport.

Subs: Robinson (on for Blaxall 40), Bamba (on for Watt 50), Easton (on for White 70). By Jamie Montigue Match Photos - Here After just two minutes, Eastleigh Reserves found themselves a goal behind. A long ball forward from the visitors was met by a tidy finish with a fine lob over stranded Eastleigh goalkeeper Freddie Toomer and into the net. Ben White headed wide from an Aaron Blaxall left wing cross soon after, before Nick Watt fired narrowly over the cross bar with a good attempt from a free kick 20 yards out, to the left of goal. Tooting & Mitcham really should have been two goals to the good but were left ruing a squandered chance as an unmarked man at the far post headed wide with the goal at his mercy. In the 26th minute Ben White had the ball in
