Bristol Manor Farm head down to Mousehole’s Trungle Parc for the second time this season. From Jack’s preview through to travel information, this guide has all you need to know ahead of the fixture.
Preview:
Mousehole v Bristol Manor Farm – Saturday 9 November, 3pm.
Manor Farm are back on the road, returning to Mousehole for the second time this season. Farm were in superb form when the two sides last met, capped by their impressive 2-0 FA Trophy victory on this ground just over a month ago. Since then, Farm’s form has been patchy, with recent matches bringing both injury-time celebrations and heartbreak. A last-gasp win at Melksham was offset by late defeats at Malvern and Thatcham, the latter under highly contentious circumstances. Farm also face selection challenges this week, with three players suspended.
Like Farm, Mousehole have struggled since early October, managing just one win in their last six matches. Both sides do, however, have games in hand on the teams above them and will know that a strong run of results could put either team back in promotion contention.
Manager Lee Lashenko had this to say ahead of the fixture:
“We’ll go to Mousehole in full strength against a side we enjoy playing. They’ve given us a bloody nose a few times, but we managed to bounce back and beat them last time around. I’m looking forward to this one.”
