Coleraine manager David Platt has been named the Northern Ireland Football Writer's Manager of the Month for January.
Platt guided the Bannsiders to three wins out of three in the League and led them to the Co-Operative Insurance League Cup Final.
The performance came days after Coleraine saw off Glentoran at the Ballycastle Road Showgrounds in a seven goal thriller, completing a league double over the champions.
The star of the show, yet again, was Rory Patterson who grabbed a hat-trick - his fourth of the season - to sink the club he has agreed to join in the summer.
"It is always an honour to win an award such as this and I want to thank everyone involved," said Platt.
"Of course, I am only partly responsible because nothing would be possible without the players and my backroom staff.
"We enjoyed a very good month and I'm glad to say we have followed that up by making it into a final.
"I genuinely thought at the start of the season that we had a chance of winning something this year and now we have the opportunity to do so."
Coleraine meet Glentoran on March 27 in the CIS Cup final.
