The Town close off November with our last away fixture of a challenging month, where all six of the Lakesiders' fixtures have been out on the road, with four league games and two ties in the JD Welsh Cup and Nathaniel MG Cup.
It was progression to the JD Welsh Cup Fourth Round in the last match for the Town, as Flint Town forced a penalty shootout between the two sides after a 2-2 draw in normal time, but it would be the Lakesiders who progressed after a 4-2 win on penalties.
The Bluebirds would also be forced into a penalty shootout in their last fixture, as Ammanford AFC would score a 80th minute equaliser to take the game to penalties. Luckily for Haverfordwest, they would progress after an enthralling shootout which ended 10-9.

Danger Man
Ben Fawcett: The 24 year old scored in the reverse fixture at Maes Tegid in October, and would subsequently open up his account for the JD Cymru Premier season. Since opening his account, the Welshman has added a further three goals to his tally, with all three goals coming in his last two JD Cymru Premier appearances against Flint Town and The New Saints. Fawcett has already beaten his tally of last season in Phase One of the JD Cymru Premier, after amassing three goals in 16 appearances last season.
