Match Preview
Willand Rovers v Cinderford Town
The countdown to Christmas continues this weekend with our final home game before the BIG day being a visit from Cinderford Town in the Pitching In Southern Football League Division One South with a 3 pm KO
Last weekend was one to forget as a festive trip to Mousehole ended in defeat for David’s men with the Hosts running out victors at the whistle. Speaking after the fixture, Dave spoke to the club’s media after the game and hoped to get back to winning ways as we approach such a crucial time in the football season.
Forest of Dean-based Cinderford is back in the Division One South after a season out of the league following a relegation to the Hellenic League in which they managed to bounce back from the 9th into the 8th tier.
Manager Matthew Driscoll is looking to keep the Foresters in the league after a rough first half of the campaign with the opponents not quite feeling the love of the Southern League after their year hiatus.
One to look out for the visitors this weekend would have to be Alex Bonthron who has managed to place himself as the second-highest goal scorer in the league with 10 notched for Cinderford.
The last time both sides met was a victory for Rovers at the Causeway Ground with David’s men running 2-0 winners in late April with Alfie Moulden and Jack Rice adding to their tallies.
It’s the most wonderful time of year to watch football and this is why we need your support this weekend as we go back into battle to secure three points on the board. An early Christmas present to a loved one or a returning supporter, we’ll see you Saturday!
