Harriers scored 12 goals in the process and conceded just three. The defence kept three clean-sheets including a 2-0 home win over promotion rivals Wrexham. Their only blip during the month was the FA Trophy defeat away at Bromley. The Kidderminster boss securing the December award for a second season running.

MATT MAKES UP FOR LOST TIME WITH A DECEMBER DOUBLE

Jamille Matt from Kidderminster Harriers has been named the Blue Square Bet Premier ‘player of the month’ for December. The sought-after striker has made it a Kidderminster double for the month and also repeated the 2011 double he secured with boss Steve Burr.

The forward has bounced back to the squad to regain his incredible form and find the net seven times in five league games. That tally includes a hat-trick in the 3-2 home win over promotion rivals Newport County.

The award makes it a Chester double for the month as boss Neil Young took the managerial honours.

The Blue Square Bet South ‘player of the month’ for December is Kiernan Hughes-Mason from Welling United.
