<p>Real were rather unfortunate to be held at home after another very positive attacking performance. <br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" />Danny Galante opened the scoring with an excellent strike and when Real won a freekick just outside the opposition's box, 'freekick specialist' Danny G struck the crossbar andRichard James close range headed goal made it two. <br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" />Real Riverside failed to clear their lines and the opposition capitalised with a deflected shot with the last kick of the first half.<br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br />After the interval, Real continued to press and were rewarded after some good work from John Hodges and a lay off to Christian whose cross resulted in a wickedly deflected own goal, to restore Real's two goal lead. <br /><br />The opposition got back into the game and following a series of set-pieces and poor clearances, Real Birmingham managed to score twice to salvage a point they scarcely deserved. <br /><br />December player of the month was a 3 way tie between; Benjamin Wilson, Nik Deemingand Andrew George Rattan
