Bristol Manor Farm will be hoping that the third time’s the charm as Manager Lee Lashenko, his players, and staff embark on a long midweek trip to Tavistock. The previous two attempts to play this fixture were postponed, with the most recent match called off after just 15 minutes — despite The Farm taking the lead through Jamie Adams’ strike.
From Jack Davies’ preview to all the matchday details you’ll need, this guide has everything to keep you fully informed ahead of the fixture.
Jack’s Preview:
Tavistock v Bristol Manor Farm – Wednesday 5 March, 7:45pm.
Bristol Manor Farm travels to Tavistock, hoping to finally complete this rescheduled fixture.
Farm were left frustrated last month when light fog led to the abandonment of their one-goal lead. This time, Lee Lashenko’s side heads into the game with a stronger squad, boosted by Abu Sama’s return to fitness. They’ll also take confidence from Louis Britton, who netted his 35th goal of an astonishing season last time out.
Tavistock, meanwhile, have improved since that previous encounter, losing just once in their last four games. However, goals have been harder to come by, though they did score twice in a recent win over Willand, with Plymouth loanee Harley Sneap grabbing the winner.
Manager Lee Lashenko looks ahead to Wednesday night’s trip down to Langsford Park.
“I can’t wait for the next game to come around. Wednesday is massive for me before we dive into another home game, which is a great situation to be involved in. There are lots of points still up for grabs, and the season is far from over.”
