Alan Bennett wins again! Cork City captain named Player of the Month

"We had the best defensive record in the league and when we look back on what we were able to achieve this season, it is something we can all be extremely proud of."

Alan Bennett has won the SSE Airtricity/Soccer Writers’ Association of Ireland Player of the Month award for October, writes Stephen Barry.

It caps a month in which Bennett captained Cork City to their first Airtricity League Premier Division title in 12 years, and retained their FAI Cup crown for a first-ever double.
