Photo: Newry City Manager Darren Mullen presents Mark Patton with the March Player of the Month award

At the end of every month throughout the season Newry City AFC supporters vote on our website for the Senior Player of the Month. The First Team Management then pick the winner from the three players with the most votes in the poll.

Mark Patton, Neil Barr and Paul McElroy received the most votes in the March poll but the Management team selected Mark as the winner.

Newrycityafc.co.uk caught up with Senior Team Manager Darren Mullen, who wished to congratulate Mark on his award.

“This award is well deserved as mark has been in great form. He has been an important part of our progress to date with his build up play and all round displays of a high standard. Hopefully he continues this form to help us achieve our goal of promotion.”

Many thanks to the folks at Destination Newry for their great coverage of the match against Richill FC last night.

The commentators for the match were City fans Mo Ruddy and Gareth McCullough.
