Match Preview
Willand Rovers v Evesham United
It’s back to Silver Street on Saturday with another clash in the Pitching In Southern Football League Division One South as the Robins from Worcestershire make their journey down with a 3 pm KO.
Previously for Rovers, we got a bit mucky at the farm as the hosts found all three points in the haystack as the league’s top goal scorer provided the opener after the first 20, a second via a penalty in what pretty much was the last kick of the game from the spot. The rovers didn’t give up, though, in Bristol, with multiple chances falling our way but in need of the golden touch to put it past the keeper.
A new month, a new set of fixtures, and the first out of the hat is Evesham United, who come to The Stan Robinson Stadium looking to challenge us again. The previous fixture at the Spiers & Hartwell Stadium was certainly one to remember for us as Rovers walked away with a 4-0 victory on a late October afternoon and certainly what felt like the last of the sun with the temperatures plummeting after that game.
One to look out for the visitors on Saturday would have to be Aaron Heap, who can be one of the best midfielders in the league on his day, with the 24-year-old coming through the ranks at Oxford United and even playing as a youngster for Northern Ireland, a real threat for any backline as he can provide the goods on the day.
There are only 6 more home games to go after Saturday this season, with it being the 1st of February. Could this be the start of a Rovers revelation? Bring a mate and bump the gate as you’re guaranteed a great experience at the Street!
