Matchday Reporter Jack Davies previews a bumper Bank Holiday weekend for Bristol Manor Farm, as they make the long trip to Falmouth this afternoon before hosting Lee Lashenko’s final home game in charge on Monday against Yate Town. Here’s what to expect from a big weekend of action.
Farm’s penultimate away game of the season is also one of their longest, with a journey to Cornwall to take on Falmouth this afternoon. With the pressure of a tense run-in off their shoulders, Farm have been able to play with freedom — picking up a derby win over rivals Larkhall and a solid point at home to play-off chasing Malvern. There’s been no question about their man in form either. George Dowling netted twice in the win against Larkhall and followed it up with a goal and an assist last weekend.
Falmouth, meanwhile, secured their safety around the turn of the year and are also enjoying a relatively relaxed end to the campaign. However, they come into this one with just a single win from their last seven outings.
Attention then turns to Monday and an emotional afternoon at The Creek as Lee Lashenko takes charge of his final home game against promotion-chasing Yate Town. Unlike Farm and Falmouth, Yate can’t afford any slip-ups. The former runaway leaders have taken just two wins from their last eight and, now sitting second behind Evesham, likely need maximum points across their Easter weekend fixtures to keep their promotion hopes alive.
