Slough Town
It was a patchy season for the Rebels last time recording their first win on the fourth game of the campaign. Slough Town went on to take sixteen points from their next seven outings and early signs pointed towards a playoff challenge, however the wheels fell off from October through to Christmas. The Berkshire side went twelve without victory which landed them in a relegation battle as they sunk down the standings to twentieth place. Slough Town had a better start to 2023 picking up three wins and four draws during an unbeaten spell that provided some comfort, which was needed as they reached the business end of the season. In the end the Rebels stayed up by three points to complete their fifth campaign in the National South.
