appending variable number of files

In a particular path of a server I have number of files.The files are generated every date with a date_mth stap on this.There are different files for different clients.
For example in /data1 path i have
X_0416_Score
Y_0416_Score
Z_0417_Score
X_0417_Score
A_0417_Score

If i will run the script for 16-apr-08 it will append all the files for that date and produce a single file named multi_client_score.dat
There may be varibale number of files for different date.I just want to append all the files with the date_mth stmap which is same as today's date month stamp.
please suggest me a script how to do this.
