Last updated : 19 May 2013 By Bournemouth Co-Ordinator

Following an run of 8 straight wins, which took AFC Bournemouth to the Championship, manager Eddie Howe picked up the League One Manager Of The Month award for April.

Howe saw off Brian Flynn (Doncaster Rovers) and Gary Johnson (Yeovil Town) to land the award.

On the award, Howe is quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "I am delighted with the award and it is recognition of the run the team went on. When the pressure was really on and we knew we had to win games, the players came through when they needed to and that was the pleasing aspect from my perspective. There was a lot at stake during the final two months of the season and it is a hallmark of a good team that you deliver when the pressure is on. The lads certainly did that".
