Malvern Town will be making the trip down the M5 to visit us at The Winterfield Stadium on Saturday.

Our guests currently sit in 11th position in the league on 26 points. They began their campaign strongly but soon slipped alarmingly down the table. However, they have recovered in recent weeks to a more stable position. Their form in the previous six matches includes three losses, a draw and two wins, the second of which was over Bristol Manor Farm last weekend.

The reverse fixture, played back in September, saw the two teams play out a 2-2 draw. Goals from David O'Hare and Toby Stephens ensured that Rovers came away with a point. The goals can be seen here and here.

We go into the game on the back of two good performances that, disappointingly, saw us take only a point. The 3-3 draw with Mousehole was regarded by many as one of the best performances of the season so far despite the late brace from Mousehole. Our defeat last Saturday also saw a generally good performance especially considering the position Frome are in. Some better decision making in the final third was all that was required to grab us an equaliser and a vital point.

Dan Cottle will return to the squad after his suspension and we are pleased to announce that midfielder Chris Peck has re-joined the club from Yate Town. Many will remember Chris for his solid displays in midfield last season and is vastly experienced at this level having also played for Frome Town. Welcome back to Rovers, Chris!

We look forward to seeing you at The Winterfield Stadium on Saturday!
