Match Preview
Didcot Town v Willand RoversIt’s the first of three in a 7 day period where Willand get back on the road and first out of the trio is the furthest with David Steele’s men making the journey over to Oxfordshire to take on Didcot Town in the Pitching In Southern Football League Division One South with a 3 pm KO.
With a busy schedule coming up, reinforcements have been brought in to help the schedule as James Watts-Barciela arrives from Plymouth Parkway on a month’s loan to help add some attacking flair to the side by the Exeter El Matador!
Last week at the races it was Tavistock who made the journey up to Silver Street and with that came a battle for bragging rights. Rovers would put the first foot right before halftime with a Jamie Richards swoop from a corner to roll past Dearing. However, the hosts gained momentum throughout the second half with Mortimore’s near on half time equaliser and in the final 10, Plymouth Argyle loanee Harley Sneap nestled a thunderous strike into the top right corner for the lambs to take all three on the day.
Moving back onto the game in hand it is now the reverse fixture with The Railwaymen as it will be our first-ever visit to Loop Meadow. Jamie Heapy’s men came down from the Southern Premier League last season and have found themselves not with the front runners but still are a competitive side within the league with hopes to get back to where they were.
Their last game was on Tuesday night with Bishops Cleeve going cross country for a 1-0 win on the evening. One to watch for Didcot would have to be Jenson Wright who has proven a handful for any backline in this league with 7 goals and 7 assists to his name if goals need creating, he is at the hub of the operations.
The Fun Bus is in operation this weekend with the coach leaving from half 10 from Silver Street and the fare being £15, be part of Rovers history when we make the journey to OX11! Contact Mike Hawkins or our socials to book your place.
