Oxford United boss Darren Patterson has been named the Blue Square Premier manager of the month for April.

Patterson takes the award for the first time after leading the U's to six wins in their final seven games to finish the season in ninth place.

"I'm really proud of the way we ended the season and the award is a great way to finish off," said Patterson.

Johnson Hippolyte takes the award in Blue Square South, while Hinckley's Dean Thomas is the winner in the North.
