Torquay United have picked up both the League Two player of the month and manager of the month awards for the second time this season.

Manager Martin Ling was awarded March's award for best boss after leading the second-placed Gulls to five wins and a draw in their seven games.

Meanwhile captain Lee Mansell was named player of the month.

The 29-year-old scored four goals during March, including two at home to Bristol Rovers.

Ling and defender Mark Ellis were named January's best manager and player in League Two.

"Lee is the heartbeat of our team. He is someone we all look up to and latch on to," Ling said.

"He has been an inspirational leader and fully deserves the player of the month award. His goal return has been absolutely brilliant."
