December Overview
The team played four league games across the month, winning once (Scarborough Athletic away), drawing once (King's Lynn at home) and losing twice (Oxford City and South Shields, both away).
The team finished the month 7th in the league, just inside the play off places.
Four goals were scored across the month - two from Aidan Rutledge, and one each from Toby Lees and Cedric Main.
Seven players started every game in the month - Pete Jameson, Tom Platt, Elliot Forbes, Paddy McLaughlin, Will McGowan, Max Howells and Charlie Lennon.
In transfer news, we extended the loans of both Paddy McLaughlin and Max Howells at the very start of December, and we also saw Alfie Myers-Smith go out on loan to Shildon.
