JOHN McCombe has picked up his second Press Player of the Month award of the season.

The former Mansfield centre back, who received the February accolade having arrived at Bootham Crescent the previous month, has now taken the honours for April with one game - this afternoon's home match with Newport - still left to play.

McCombe's eight-point lead over nearest rival Ben Davies is unassailable after he collected seven points over the Easter holiday period.

The 28-year-old defender was awarded with two points as our second-highest rated performer during Monday's 1-0 win over Bury with man-of-the-match Davies (three points) and our third-highest rated player Russell Penn (one) also recognised for their efforts.

Penn, meanwhile, was rewarded with the two bonus points on offer to the player who received the most man-of-the-match votes from visitors to The Press website or followers of the @daveflett Twitter account.

On Good Friday, McCombe won all three points as our man of the match at Oxford and went on to bag the bonus points as well.

Davies (two points) and Michael Coulson (one) were the Press' second and third-highest rated players at the Kassam Stadium.
