Torquay United manager Paul Buckle has been voted as the Npower League Two manager of the month for August after leading the Gulls to five wins from a possible six matches in all competitions.
This sequence also saw Torquay complete a run of 998 minutes without conceding a league goal, which carried over from last season.
Bucks beat off competition from Shrewsbury Town manager Graham Turner and Rotherham United boss Ronnie Moore to become the first Torquay United manager to win a manager of the month award since Kevin Hodges in February 1998.
It could still be a double celebration for the club if Mark Ellis wins the Player of the Month award for which he has been nominated for.
