Peterborough United Women's boss nominated for award ahead of a re-staged FA Cup tie
Peterborough United boss Jake Poole has been nominated for the National Women’s League manager-of-the-month prize for October.
Poole, who led the club to promotion to Tier 3 for the first time in the club's history last season, oversaw a superb October for Posh who picked with 10 points from a possible 12 in the Northern Premier Division.
Posh climbed from the bottom of the table to sixth place during that run.
As expected Posh will replay their first round Women’s FA Cup tie at Lye Town on Sunday. The initial staging was abandoned with 12 minutes till to play because of a serious injury to Lye goalkeeper Pharyn Ashton. She was rushed to hospital, but is now well on the road to recovery.
Lye, who play in the National League division below Posh, led 1-0 at the time of the abandonment. The winners will entertain Northern Premier Division leaders Rugby Borough on a date to be determined.
