YORK City Knights half-back Danny Brough's sublime display in the big win at Dewsbury on Sunday has won him the latest Arriva Trains Cup 'Man of the Round' title winner.

The Knights' scrum-half punished his former club by kicking nine goals and

touching down a brilliant individual try as York romped to a 58-16 win at

the Rams Stadium - which was deemed the outstanding performance of the third round by rugby league writers.

And to add to his 22-point individual haul, Brough also played a crucial

role in six of the Knights' ten tries.

Brough will be presented with his award when the Knights, of National League Two, entertain National League One big-guns Featherstone Rovers in an Arriva Trains Cup at Huntington Stadium on Sunday, March 7.

Tony Hargrave, York-based Arriva Trains Northern advertising and

promotions manager said: "Danny's impressive 22-point haul made a significant contribution to the Knight's victory and his outstanding performance made him perfect candidate for this accolade."

Knights chief executive Steve Ferres said: "Danny has been playing

consistently well all season and thoroughly deserves this award.

"Against the Rams Danny and his half-back partner, Scott Rhodes, both played well but Danny shaded it with a great display against his home-town club."
