Match Preview
Match Preview: Mousehole AFC V Willand Rovers Jingle Bells all the way! Oh, what fun it is to see Rovers play away, and it is a trip on the road this weekend to the bottom of Cornwall to take on Mousehole in the Southern Football League Division One South with a 3 pm kick-off at Trungle Parc.
We have had a week off from action as the storms brewed over Silver Street with Darragh sending gusts across the West Country and Wales and in that time the lads have had a bit of time to recuperate after a busy few months of action with the focus now being shifted onto this weekend’s fixture which takes us into the Christmas period.
It is not the first time, nor the second time, we have played our opponents with the FA Cup, sending us down to the village of Paul already this season with a 2-2 draw at their place, setting up a replay at Silver Street in which Ashton Hewitt’s strike was the difference to book us a place in the next round of the Cup.
One to watch for the hosts is Mark Goldsworthy, who has managed to bag 8 for the Seagulls this season with an eye for goal and is a player who can change a game when needed, as he has done throughout the season so far.
Their last game was a visit from Westbury, who managed to secure a 2-0 victory at Trungle Parc on Tuesday night as both battled the conditions, which could be considered idyllic for a Southern League clash with the White Horse Men coming out on top.
As well as the fixture, we are running our Christmas fun bus down to the edge of the world (England), which will be departing Silver Street at half 10 with the fare of £15 per person. So come along for the festivities and the joys of a Rovers awayday!
