Preview – Gloucester City – Mon 19 Feb – KO 19:45

Our visitors are currently sitting  in 17th place on 33 points from their 28 games played having won 9, drawn 6 and lost 13 scoring 36 and conceding 46 goals.  On their last league outing they defeated Concord Rangers 1-0 at home. When we met the ‘The Tigers’  back in early August the teams played out a 2-2 at Evesham Town FC.

Manager Bobby Wilkinson and his team will be looking to ‘lift’ the squad following the events at The Vale yesterday which saw league leaders Dartford leave the The Vale with the  points in what was at times  a feisty game.
