THERE is a three-way tie at the top of The Press Player of the Month standings ahead of this afternoon’s final game in February.

January winner Adam Bartlett has joined Aidan Connolly and Connor Smith at the summit on five points, prior to this afternoon’s home match against Alfreton.

The ex-Darlington keeper gained a share of the leadership after collecting three points as The Press man of the match during last weekend’s 4-1 defeat at Curzon Ashton and also received the two bonus points on offer after topping our Twitter man-of-the match poll.

The other Press points went to Alex Kempster (two) and Simon Heslop (one) as our second and third-highest rated players respectively.
