The Southern League’s Terry Barratt was on hand to present Berkhamsted FC Chairman, Steve Davis, with their PST Sport Club of the Month award for November 2024 ahead of their Boxing Day game at Aylesbury United.
They got the month of November underway with a 3-1 victory at AFC Dunstable as first half strikes from Tom Newman, who bagged a quickfire brace within the opening ten minutes, and Lewis Thorpe set them on their way to a good away day win.
It was the same scoreline in their next game as they returned to home soil with victory over Kings Langley. This time, though, they had to come from behind and scored all three goals in the second half with JJ Lacey setting them on their way from the penalty spot and an own goal putting them in front. Louie Collier rounded things off with the decisive third goal.
A late strike earned them a share of the spoils from a 2-2 draw at Enfield. Dan Newton cancelled out an early opener from their hosts before Adam Watkins grabbed a late equaliser after their opponents had regained the lead with 20 minutes to go.
Those battling qualities came to the fore once more in the next game as they overcame the stubborn challenge of Leverstock Green with Louie Collier grabbing the all-important goal midway through the second period.
A trip to fellow high-flyers, Flackwell Heath, produced an entertaining game which they won 4-2. JJ Lacey put them ahead only for the scoreline to be turned on its head before the half-hour mark. However, the pendulum swung back in their favour when an own goal put them back on level terms and soon afterwards, Louie Collier regained their lead. A late strike from skipper, Matt Bateman, sealed a big three points.
The month ended with Bateman on the scoresheet again to open the scoring against Biggleswade FC. Dan Newton completed a deserved 2-0 win after the break to maintain their position at the top of the table.
