Mills nominated for Player of the Month award

Warriors’ Ryan Mills has been nominated for February’s Greene King IPA Championship Player of the Month award.

The centre, who has recently been showing his versatility at fly-half, has been instrumental in Warriors’ three wins in February, including a man-of-the-match display in front of the Sky Sports cameras against Rotherham Titans where he picked up his first try for the club and assisted three.

He notched his second try a week later as he helped his side fight back from a 17-0 half-time deficit to beat Bedford Blues at Goldington Road.

This weekend’s visitors Plymouth Albion also have a player up for the award, with stand-off Declan Cusak having had an impressive month, where he kicked vital points to earn the Brickfields side a vital win over Jersey.

Doncaster Knights wing Dougie Flockhart picks up his second nomination after being included amongst the inaugural shortlist in September.

Currently topping the league's top points-scoring tally with 182, the Scottish flyer stays firm as one of the Championship's most consistent kickers.

The 30-year-old put an impressive 20 points on the board during the Knights' 30-13 victory over Cornish Pirates in February, including the final try of the match.

London Scottish fly-half Peter Lydon completes the shortlist after playing a central role in the Exiles' 35 -3 win over Moseley.

The former Stade Francais player kicked five successful conversions and scored a try for a total of 15 points, earning him the club's man-of-the-match award.
