It
was no surprise that Dogo emerged as the best manager for the month of March
after guiding modest ABS FC to a superb run of eight games without a loss that
included five wins and three draws.
The
ABS’ caretaker coach even chalked up an away win at Kaduna United as early as
March 4 in his first game in charge to show his team’s intent of going unbeaten
throughout the month of March.
Trainer
of the Saraki Boys further handed down a seven-game target to go unbeaten and
surpassed it in same month.
However,
only the duo of Baba Ganaru and Austin Eguavoen of Kano Pillars and Enyimba
came closest to equalling the unbeaten feat of Dogo and his team.
Enyimba
and Kano Pillars finished with one loss apiece in March.
But
the real battle was in the player’s category where Ali, Bala Mohammed of Jigawa
Golden Stars and Sibi Gwar of Niger Tornadoes were tied on four goals each.
Mohammed
has been the talisman for the Golden Stars so far this season but two of his
four goals came from penalties compared to Ali and Gwar, who scored all of
their four goals each from open play.
The
battle for the Player of March was trimmed down to Ali and Gwar with the former
slightly edging the Tornadoes’ man.
Ali’s
goals were able to help Pillars notch up wins against Sunshine Stars and 3SC
while Gwar’s goals secured just a win for Tornadoes against Sharks and two
draws against Enugu Rangers and Kwara United.
The
organisers of the monthly award, the Naija Premier League Bloggers Awards, will
present Ali and Dogo with certificates for their feat in April.
