Linfield boss David Healy has been named Reavey Solicitors Manager of the Month by the Northern Ireland Football Writers' Association.

The Blues completed the month of March unbeaten, winning the BetMcLean Cup along the way. 

Healy said: "It's a pleasure to win this trophy for a third time this season – and I'd like to thank the Football Writers' and Reavey Solicitors – but it's not about personal accolades, it's about the team. I was delighted with how we played in the cup final and we have given ourselves a chance in the league, even though Larne remain clear favourites.

"Our aim is to carry this form into the post-split fixtures and keep the fight going for as long as possible. We want to keep fighting to the very end.”
