A 73rd minute strike from Rene Howe gave Torquay United manager Martin Ling more to celebrate as the Gulls strengthen their grip on automatic promotion by beating Accrington Stanley.
Ling had received his second Manager of the Month award of the season before kick-off, he also won the prize in January, which he received on the back of six wins in eight matches during March and skipper Lee Mansell also received the Player of the Month award.
After the game, Ling said that he is happy to see his side continue to grind out results.
"If we can get five 1-0's between now and the end of the season then we'll take that." said Ling.
"It's getting to the stage of the season where performances are not as good as they have been, players are looking nervy and edgy, but the players are getting the results when needed.
"The games are getting bigger and the crowds are getting bigger, but the prize is still as big as anything in football, promotion from a league at the end of a long hard season. Other results went for us and it's in our own hands so we continue to plough on."
One person who had a big say in Ling receiving the award was forrmer Charlton and West Ham boss, Alan Curbishley, who is currently the head of the npower Manager of the Month judging panel.
"Martin has overseen another incredible month for Torquay, taking 19 invaluable points. They have now secured a top three spot and look strong candidates for promotion."
Skipper Lee Mansell also becomes the second Gulls player to receive the Player of the Month award this season, the other was Mark Ellis who ironically won the award in the same month that Ling lifted the managerial prize.
His performances in March, which saw him score four goals in eight matches received praise from Sky Sports Football League pundit Peter Beagrie.
"Midfield maestro Lee Mansell drove his Torquay side from sixth place to second in a marvellous March," said Beagrie.
"Mansell covered every blade of grass, destroying and creating. The all-action midfielder also found the net on four occasions."
Following Good Friday's matches, the Gulls are now three points ahead of third placed Shrewsbury Town and five clear of Crawley Town in fourth.
