Bristol Manor Farm vs Bideford
Southern League Division One South
Saturday 18th January 2020
3:00pm kick off
The Creek, Bristol

On Saturday Bideford will head up the M5 to take on Bristol Manor Farm in Southern League Division One South. The sides are only separated by goal difference in the lower reaches of the division, both on 22 points after difficult campaigns so far. Bristol Manor Farm’s only points gained in their last six games came on Boxing Day with victory over Willand Rovers. They come into Saturday’s fixture off the back of three straight defeats. Bideford’s form has improved after a dreadful run of results. The Robins scored a big win over 2nd placed Frome Town before picking up only their second away point of the season last week at Moneyfields. Saturday will provide another chance for Bideford to pick up that illusive first away win in the league in 2019/20. Earlier this season, Manor Farm were comfortable 2-0 winners at the Sports Ground in the reverse fixture.
