Player of the month - Morgan Passman
National League One
Winger Morgan Passman has been in sensational form for Darlington Mowden Park throughout November, scoring eight tries in three games. He crossed the line four times against both Plymouth Albion and Birmingham Moseley in National League One. His finishing ability is an asset for DMP, as they look to push up the tightly contested table. The Durham outfit currently sit seventh but are only 6 points behind leaders Richmond as we approach the Christmas break.
Level 3/4 - Worthing Raiders
National Two South
Worthing Raiders didn't win a game in October, but have now registered four wins in their last five, lifting them to ninth in the National Two South table. They took 21 of 25 available points thanks to home wins against promotion-chasing Esher and Dings Crusaders, as well as impressive away victories at Clifton and Barnes. They almost made it a clean sweep of victories in November, but narrowly lost out to Bury. Full back Matt McLean scored 44 points in November, whilst hooker Elliot Luke and centre Jack Forrest lead the side's try count with three each.
Level 5 - Wimbledon RFC
London Premier
Wimbledon currently head up London Premier by six points having won all 11 of their games this season. November saw them overcome Hertford (25-7), Dorking (27-16) and Brighton (41-24). December will be a test, as it sees them meet Guernsey and Tunbridge Wells in consecutive weeks - both of whom occupy the top four.
Level 6 - York RUFC
North 1 East
York won all three of their games in November, keeping up the pressure on leaders Morley. They sit second in the table on points difference. Their most impressive victory in November came against Huddersfield (52-6). They will be aiming to finish the year strongly in their final two games of 2019, against Durham City and Kendal.
Level 7 - South Shields Westoe RFC
Durham/Northumberland Division One
South Shields Westoe kicked on in November and now sit third in the league following three bonus-point wins. Their opening victory of the month came away to Barnard Castle (39-0) and was also the third game in-a-row where they had not conceded a point.
Level 8 - Hoylake RFC
Lancs/Cheshire Division One
Hoylake won all four of their games in November and sit second in the league, just six points behind leaders Orrell. Three bonus-point wins and a hard fought victory over third place Congleton see them sitting in a good position before the December batch of fixtures.
Level 9-12 - Bristol Harlequins

An impressive November sees Beckenham Ladies sit third in the league just five points behind the leaders. Impressive away victories at Hampstead and Old Elthamians sandwiched a home win against Sutton & Epsom.
