“I have been playing higher up the pitch which suits me and playing with great strikers has allowed me to get among the goals.”
Gaynor’s boss David Healy rightfully picked up the Manager of the Month accolade.
The Blues enjoyed an unbeaten month with two victories over Belfast rivals Cliftonville, including an Irish Cup Quarter-Final, adding to a string of fine results with wins also coming over Glentoran, Ballinamallard and Warrenpoint.
