David McMillan SWAI Player of the Month for March

Dundalk striker David McMillan has been named the SSE Airtricity/SWAI Player of the Month for March.

The 25-year-old overcame doubts over whether he could fill the void left by Pat Hoban’s departure by scoring four goals throughout the month to send the Lilywhites soaring to the top of the table. This is the second time McMillan has won the monthly prize, having previously scooped it in May 2010 when he played with UCD.

McMillan seen off competition from his colleagues Daryl Horgan and Gary Rogers for the award, with the pair finishing second and third respectively. Also nominated were Cork City pair Alan Bennett and Mark McNulty, Shamrock Rovers’ Keith Fahey and Adam Evans of Bohemians.

Dundalk’s first competitive outing of the year ended in defeat last night after they lost 2-1 to St Patrick’s Athletic in the Leinster Senior Cup at Richmond Park.

After a scoreless first-half, former Irish international Keith Fahey gave the home side the lead with a stunning 30 yard free kick to the top right hand corner off the underside of the crossbar.

Dundalk got back on level terms 10 minutes later, however, when Kurtis Byrne picked out David McMillan, who held off Kenny Browne to fire past Brendan Clarke to make it 1-1.

With 20 minutes to though, Pat’s regained the lead when Daryl Kavanagh fired past Cherrie from a Chris Forrester cross.

Dundalk did push for an equaliser late on but could find no way past a stubborn Pat’s defence.

ST. PATRICK’S ATHLETIC: Brendan Clarke; Ger O’Brien, Kenny Brown, Ken Oman, Ian Bermingham; Greg Bolger (Conor McCormack 82), Lee Lynch (Christy Fagan 59); Conan Byrne, Keith Fahey (James Chambers 75), Christopher Forrester; Daryl Kavanagh.
