And that would be a second promotion for Gary, who with another former player, Stephen Gleeson (MK Dons), helped Stockport County to beat Rochdale 3-2 in the League Two Play-off at Wembley in May 2008. Midfielder Gary (24) joined UCD from Cherry Orchard in July 2004 and was transferred to Stockport three years later. After an initial loan spell he moved to Brighton in July 2009 and has been an influential member of the stand out team in the Division this season. Gary scored from the penalty spot in the 2-1 victory over Swindon on 26th March and having won all eight of their league games during that month. Brighton entered April 13 points clear of second placed Huddersfield. We hope that Gary will be part of a league winning team very soon. l l l l l1 Orchard News April 2011_Orchard 11/04/2011 09:11 Page 2 News & Views Wayne Henderson Donal in Forced to action against Charlton.
