Bill’s Preview:
Bristol Manor Farm v Bemerton Heath Harlequins – Tuesday 11th February, 7:45pm.
Bristol Manor Farm return home just 72 hours after their frustrating draw against struggling Thatcham Town—a game that ended 2-2, with The Farm likely feeling the more aggrieved of the two sides, having failed to make home advantage count. That said, they remain unbeaten in 2025, with three wins and four draws, and showed resilience to equalise through Louis Britton with 10 minutes to play. Owen Howe then came agonisingly close to snatching a late winner, narrowly missing the back post.
On Tuesday night, The Farm face an entirely different challenge in play-off-chasing Bemerton Heath Harlequins, who sit just one place above them in the table. Despite undergoing three managerial changes since August, The Harlequins are enjoying a fantastic season. Forward Joe Smith has been in prolific form, scoring 18 goals this campaign—including 10 in the league—placing him joint second in the race for the Golden Boot, where Britton remains the frontrunner.
Remarkably, due to an earlier postponement, The Farm will face Bemerton Heath Harlequins twice in the space of a week, with the return fixture at Moon Road coming up next. With the two sides separated by just one position in the table, these six points could prove crucial in the race for the playoffs. With things so tight at the top, it’s likely that only one of the two will secure a spot in the end. Lee and the team need your support more than ever, so let’s get behind the boys for this crucial fixture!

Travel
Supporters on planning to use public transport have two main options. There are Trains that run to Avonmouth and Severn Beach every 20 minutes from Bristol Temple Meads and you will need to get off at Sea Mills station, followed by a short 5 minute walk to the ground. Supporters travelling by Bus can catch the Portway Park & Ride from the city centre every 10 minutes, and will need to get off outside the ground at the Riverleaze stop.
We offer a FREE Car Park for our supporters. However, we encourage everyone to arrive at the ground well in advance of the match start time, as the parking spaces tend to fill up quickly once players and staff begin arriving for the evening.
