On Hallows’ eve, Bristol Manor Farm travel to Highworth Town on Saturday afternoon looking to bounce back from their 2-0 home defeat against Bideford Town. Here is all the information you need ahead of the Farmers 13th league fixture.
Looking to build on their away victory away to Paulton, a rather disappointing home performance from the Farm saw Sean Joyce’s Bideford claim all three points at The Creek last weekend. Goals midway inside each half from Rubin Wilson and Matty Buchan ended a seven match losing streak for the Robins, and condemning the Farm to their third league defeat of the season. The Portwaymen, however, remain inside the play-off positions in sixth place after 12 matches.
As for our opponents, Highworth currently sit one place behind Manor Farm in the table winning an impressive six matches form their first nine games. Manor Farm’s Owen Howe still leads the division’s top scoring charts, but Highworth’s Felipe Barcelos has also made a strong start to the season with seven goals to his name.
Last weekend The Worthians were also defeated, losing 1-0 away to Larkhall Athletic at Plain Ham.
