Kearney named ‘Manager of the Month’
Friday, 6 January 2012
Coleraine boss Oran Kearney receives the Carling Northern Ireland Football Writers’ Association Manager of the Month award for December from Carling’s Denise Catney and Carling referee Catherine Jennings.
ORAN Kearney has picked up the Carling Northern Ireland Football Writers' Association Manager of the Month award for December.
The Coleraine manager has guided his side through the busiest month of the football calendar without losing a match, winning five matches and drawing on two.
December also saw the Bannsiders booking their place in the final of the Irn-Bru League Cup by beating Cliftonville 2-1 at Solitude, ending the Reds 14-game unbeaten run.
A delighted Kearney said: "This is my first award, so you have to look towards my backroom staff and thank them for their efforts.
“Sometimes as a manager you feel a bit helpless, as all you can do is send the players over the white line and hope for the best.
“Thankfully the players haven't let me down. Hopefully we can push on from here. This award is a shot in the arm for the club."
Carling's Jordana Grimes added: "The results this month for Coleraine show that Oran is doing a great job working with the team. Carling is delighted to be at the heart of local football, supporting local talent, and bringing local people back to the game."
