Match Preview: Helston Athletic vs Bristol Manor Farm
Southern League Division One South – Final Day, 2024/25 Season
Bristol Manor Farm bring the curtain down on another season with a long journey to Cornwall, where they’ll face Helston Athletic in what promises to be an emotional final day in the Southern League Division One South.
All eyes will be on the touchline as Lee Lashenko takes charge of The Farm for the very last time, ending a remarkable 12-year reign at the club. While his home farewell ended in disappointment, his side will be desperate to give their long-serving boss the perfect send-off with a victory in their final outing of the campaign. A top-half finish remains within reach, offering extra motivation as they look to close the season on a high.
Hosts Helston Athletic, meanwhile, have their own reasons to celebrate. Despite a challenging campaign, the Cornish outfit have secured their Southern League status for another year, an impressive achievement given their rapid rise in recent seasons. The Blues ended a winless streak stretching back to January with a crucial victory over Tavistock last weekend, and they’ll be hoping to ride that momentum into their final fixture.
With pride, points, and personal milestones on the line, Saturday’s clash promises to be a compelling finale to the season for both sides. The Farm will also be celebrating their end of season awards after the match, and we will be announcing the winners across our social channels.
