ADAM Bartlett has won back-to-back Press Player of the Month awards.

The former Darlington keeper, pictured, finished one point ahead of nearest rival Simon Heslop to scoop the February honours after also taking the January spoils.

Heslop mounted a late challenge, having collected a maximum of five points towards the standings during last weekend’s 1-1 draw against Alfreton, with three for being named The Press man of the match and an extra two after topping our fans’ Twitter poll.

But Bartlett made top spot certain with another two points as our second-highest rated performer.

Louis Almond received the remaining point on offer as The Press’ third-highest rated performer.
