Preview:
Cinderford Town v Bristol Manor Farm, Saturday 14 September, 3pm.
Manor Farm return to league action as they travel to the Forest of Dean to face Cinderford Town. The Farm head into the match in high spirits, having won their last three games in all competitions. A bank holiday double in the league was followed by a convincing win at home against Westbury in the FA Trophy. Louis Britton is the man in form, scoring four goals in his last four matches, as he continues to thrive in his debut season. Cinderford are yet to secure a point this season, but their performances have been improving, with all but one loss coming by just a single goal. Experienced new goalkeeper Joel Manning will certainly aid them in their pursuit of a first victory here.
Manager Lee Lashenko shared his thoughts on the weekend:
“Cinderford is another tough fixture. We know what Cinderford Town sides are all about—they always give maximum effort, and we need to be at our best on Saturday to keep this good run going. It’s all about confidence; the players are enjoying each other’s company, and as a collective, there’s a good spirit here.”
