Institute forward Michael Harris is the Northern Ireland Football Writers' Association's Championship Player of the Month for April.

The Letterkenny man helped Institute secure a spot in the Promotion/Relegation Play-Off - that they narrowly lost to Ballymena United - with a last gasp goal against Portadown on the final day of the league campaign. He also found the net against Dundela at Wilgar Park.

A delighted Harris said: "I'm delighted to win this award. It was a great month for us, even if we didn't win promotion.

"Obviously we were devastated to lose to Ballymena with two late goals, but I think we can look back on the season with a lot of pride.

"We finished second in a very competitive league."
