Bridgwater United v Yate Town (pre-season friendly)
Tuesday 16th July - Kick-off 7.45pm
Yate Town travel west to play Bridgwater United (the Robins) in a hastily re-arranged pre-season friendly after Corsham Town had to pull out of the original game scheduled for the same evening.
The two teams met fairly regularly in previous times when both were in the Southern League but over the past few seasons Bridgwater have played in the Western League finishing in third place last season.
Yate Town manager, Darren Mullings, will hope to have some of the players with minor injuries during the pre-season schedule back in action for some part of the match, following a slightly depleted squad in the 0-1 loss at Barry Town United on Saturday, plus he will be looking at a number of trialists again.
The players will be training again on Wednesday evening before then travelling to play Southern League Premier Division side Gloucester City on Friday evening.
