Black Africa midfielder Bryan Bantam won the FNB Player of the Month award for March after receiving the most votes from our panel of judges. But it was a close run affair as he just pipped SKW winger Joslin Kamatuka to the prize.
Bantam received four votes, Kamatuka three votes and Civics striker Sadney Urikhob one vote.
Bantam was very relieved when he heard the news, saying it was second time lucky.
“It feels great that I’ve finally won the award, because I was nominated before this season but did not win then,” he said.
