Bristol Manor Farm are finally back on their own turf as they return to league action at the NL Services Stadium, and Jack Davies is back to preview all the action.
Farm have played five successive away games across three different competitions this month, but it ended in excellent style last time out. Farm won away at a very strong Bashley side, for their first win and clean sheet in the league this season. The man credited with that clean sheet, Seth Locke, has had a great personal month and was delighted to end it in that fashion. No doubt about the man in form of late either. Evander Grubb has three goals in his last two, including the winner in that Bashley.
Bristol Manor Farm will also welcome its students back to the city with their official ‘student day’ which will take place on Saturday. If students provide valid student ID, then they can gain entry for just £5 and enjoy selected pints for just £3.50 in our Social Club.
Malvern achieved promotion to this level last season and started the season with only one defeat in five but have since not had a happy September. The Hillsiders are without a win in seven games despite scoring an impressive twelve goals in that time. Jack Watts scored a brace last time out as his extremely impressive personal season continued. He’ll be the man to watch for Farm, but fellow forwards Joe Davies and Ben Hayes will provide ample support.
