VADAINE Oliver has won his first Press Player of the Month award of the season.

The 25-year-old forward scored four times and claimed three assists in March to claim 2016/17’s penultimate prize, ahead of nearest rivals Jon Parkin and Dan Parslow.

Hamza Bencherif won three points towards the standings as our man of the match during Tuesday night’s 3-1 win at Macclesfield.

The other Press points went to Scott Loach (two) and Parslow (one) as our second and third-highest rated performers respectively.

Bencherif and Parkin, meanwhile, shared the two bonus points on offer to the winner of our Twitter man-of-the-match poll.

During last weekend’s 1-0 defeat at Dagenham, the Press points were shared between Alex Whittle (three), Parslow (two) and Loach (one).

Parslow picked up the two bonus points.
