It was a washout month which saw the Acorns have two games postponed around five difficult games that did survive the weather.
The Acorns started and ended the month with brilliant victories but also saw a tough spell in between securing a valiant draw, before back-to-back narrow defeats on the road.
Seven points in November has seen the Acorns drop to 11th in the Southern League Div One South, but with a few games in hand, a rise could be around the corner.
It’s time to look back at the past month and what happened for the Acorns.
THE NUMBERS
Games: 5 | Won: 2 | Drew: 1 | Lose: 2 | Points: 7/15 | Scored: 10 | Conceded: 5 | Clean Sheets: 1
THE MANNING FORM
It was an emphatic start to the month from the Acorns as we ran out 7-1 winners over Brixham AFC.
The highlight of the afternoon was a stunning hat-trick from Louis Manning, who also made it four goals in two games.
A flying volley, a sweeping effort and cooly slotted strike helped us to a 4-0 margin before three goals in the last five minutes earned our second biggest victory of the season.
DEFENDING THE POINT
Next up was a tough test at Badgers Hill where we faced a high flying Frome Town.
It was fiercely competitive game that saw an excellent defensive display, from the Acorns, to earn a valuable point.
Countless blocks from Sol Kent and George Sims, around a few fantastic stops from Seth Locke secured a fifth clean sheet of the season.
FOOTBALL-LESS SATURDAYS
As a storm hit the country, the footballing action also took a hit as the Acorns saw back-to-back weekends of football, against Tavistock AFC and Sporting Club Inkberrow, postponed.
These came either side of narrow defeats at Westbury United and Bristol Manor on cold Tuesday night’s away from home.
ENDING WITH A WIN
The Acorns rounded the month off coming from behind to defeat a 10-man Swindon Supermarine 2-1 at the 4ED Hartpury Stadium.
Noah Coates got the game level before a stunning Nathan Jenkins; long ranged strike won all three points for the Acorns and made it successive wins at home.
The Acorns will be hoping to carry this victory over into December as we take on Tavistock at the 4ED on Tuesday night.
