[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After just about catching their breath from Tuesday’s thrilling encounter against Plymouth Parkway, the Farm are thrown straight back into action when Lymington Town head to The Creek on Saturday.
Manager Lee Lashenko was delighted with his side’s performance on Tuesday, with Josh Ford, Jamie Short and Kyle Tooze completing the ultimate comeback against Plymouth, but has stressed that these are the performance levels that Manor Farm need to show each week if they want to achieve the goal of promotion.
The Farm’s visitors, Lymington, were promoted at the end of the curtailed 2020/21 season, and have already made a positive start to life in the Southern League, winning league and FA Cup matches against Evesham, Barnstaple (x2), and Bournemouth FC.
We can’t wait to welcome you all back to The Creek, here’s all the information ahead of Saturday’s fixture.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”26478″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
