In the Pitching In Southern League Division One South it’s Yate Town who are celebrating after bursting out of the blocks.
A 2-0 Emirates FA Cup victory over Holyport set the tone as they went on to secure a 1-0 away win at Tavistock AFC on the opening day of the League campaign thanks to a Lucas Tomlinson strike.
Tomlinson was on the scoresheet again in their next outing as they beat Bishops Cleeve 2-1 and it was followed by a convincing 4-0 away win at Kidlington in the Emirates FA Cup.
A late goal from that man Tomlinson gave them a hard-earned 2-1 triumph at Bashley before the experienced Marlon Jackson grabbed the all-important goal that saw them overcome the challenge of an Exmouth Town outfit who had also started the season well in their next game.
The month ended with a narrow 1-0 reverse at higher-level Hungerford Town in the Emirates FA Cup.
