Last month saw the Pilgrims draw with leaders Gloucester City and second-place Chester as well as defeating Blyth Spartans, Alfreton Town, Farsley Celtic and edging past the Coasters.

A 2-0 reverse against Chorley was their only defeat, while Fitzsimons - who joined from Notts County in the summer - was rested for the 3-0 Trophy win at Evesham United.
