It's a script they thought couldn't be written. But it has been! On Saturday, we welcome Radstock Town to The Winterfield Stadium for a First Round Proper clash in the FA Vase!
Radstock come into the game having won one of their previous five fixtures (including cup matches) and in the previous round defeated Bishops Lydiard of the South West Peninsula League by three goals to two. They have had a difficult start in division one of the Jewson Western League and currently sit in 19th place. Their top scorer is Jed Parfitt with four goals and their squad includes Luke Ingram, Kylan Mapstone and Kai Williamson whom have all graced Winterfield Road for Rovers.
Our superb result on Tuesday against Portishead Town sets us in good shape for this local derby. A brilliant team performance saw us score five and could have had more and it will hopefully serve as a springboard to build some momentum for the rest of the season. In the previous round of this competition, we defeated Torridgeside 3-0 with a goal from Dan McBeam and a brace from Leo Eglin.
Many will know the recent history between Radstock and Paulton Rovers so this should be a cracker! Lets fill the ground and get behind the lads!
