Second award for boss Ward
Thursday Apr 03 2008 12:50

Carlisle United boss John Ward has been named the top manager in League One for the second successive month after beating off stiff competition.

The Cumbrians chief topped a short-list containing Steve Tilson of Southend United, Doncaster Rovers' Sean O'Driscoll and Keith Downing of Cheltenham Town to take the monthly gong.

Promotion-chasing Carlisle extended their unbeaten run to 12 games during March to leave them second in the League One table.

"For any individual to be successful in a team game they have to rely on the help of many others and that is definitely the case here," Ward told the club's official website.

"We're very much a team here and I want that to remain the case throughout my time with the club.

"We've had a fantastic run, we've broken club records at various times and it has been a really special time to be connected with Carlisle United."
