Our Ryman League Division One South Manager of the Month chats to the official Dulwich Hamlet website about his honour.

Congratulations on your Manager of the Month award, Gavin!

"Erm,(laughing) really? No, I didn't know that, thank you for telling me. To be honest the manager gets the plaudits, but the team does all the work, they win it for me."

You've won them before, how does it feel?

"Originally, the first time it was really nice, and an honour, but in the bigger scheme of things, winning awards doesn't win you the league, or get you promotion. If I didn't win another manager of the month award but come the end of the season we go up, either as champions or in the play-offs, I'll take that over any personal glory than an award might give you."

Do you get stick from the other two, Junior Kadi & Kevin James, for taking any of their glory away from them?

"No, we share anything. So it's an award for all of us really. If anything I have to give them more credit than me, because they do two jobs, both on the coaching side, as well as playing in the games."

So the real prize is promotion, a few more of these awards & we should be there...

"I suppose so, if you put it like that. Three or four more would put us in a good position by the time April comes round, but that's a long time away, we just have to continue the way we are at the moment. It's nice to win these things, but it won't mean anything until we have achieved our goal at the end of April."
