November started with one of the ‘games of the season’ at Kempston Rovers.

Despite going behind, a penalty from Luka and a second half strike from Kodi put Town ahead but Kempston drew level in added time when they seemed out of the game.

Minutes later though the Blues broke away with Luka scoring a superb curling effort to the delight of the Blues contingent!

Town then travelled to Leighton for a Bedfordshire Senior Cup match and more than held their own in the first half against their higher ranked opponents but the hosts experience came through in the second half, scoring two goals to win the tie.

Dunstable returned to Creasey Park for their next match, hosting Winslow United.

Alfie Osborne opened the scoring with his first goal for the club since he returned from Harpenden Town. Luka added a second to make it two league wins in a row in November.

The next game was at runaway leaders MK Irish and it was a day to forget as the home side outplayed Town throughout and put six past the Blues with no reply.

Unfortunately, the team had two weeks until their next game, which didn’t help recovering mentally from the heavy defeat.

Crawley Green were the next opponents at Creasey Park and we had Alex Desmond to thank for saving a late penalty to earn his team a 0-0 draw.
