Peel’s marauding striker Josh Kelly is the Canada Life Premier League’s Player of the Month for March.
The former Rushen man hit an astonishing 12 goals in the title-chasing westerners’ three top-flight games last month to help clinch the award.
Kelly’s haul of eight player rating points saw him edge the accolade from Matty Skillicorn.
The Ramsey winger accrued 7.5 points over the period for the northerners.
Skillicorn was in turn half a point ahead of Peel winger Lee Gale who helped his side to three wins as the campaign gets to its business end.
Gale’s Peel team-mate Andrew Crennell was fourth in the standings, with DHSOB’s influential midfielder Robbie Ward completing the top five.
Union Mills midfielder Ronan McDonnell picks up the young player accolade award for a second successive month after impressing in the Mills’ engine room as the Garey Mooar outfit completed their great escape from the Premier League’s relegation zone.

Doyle in turn holds a couple of points advantage over club-mate Frank Jones who sits third overall in the seasonal listings.
St Mary’s player-manager Steven Priestnal sits fourth just ahead of Ciaran McNulty (St George’s) and Andrew Crennell (Peel) who complete the current top six.
