The Bluebells travel to Tiverton Town on Saturday for this re-arranged fixture, originally scheduled for Tuesday 18th November.

Both clubs sit in the bottom four of the Southern League Premier Division South, with the Bluebells three points ahead of their Devon based opponents, but having played one game more.

The two teams met back in early September at the South West Interiors Stadium, the Bluebells winning 2-1. All the goals came in the first half with Jagger Cane putting Tiverton in front before goals from Chris Zebroski and Jack Karadagon completed the scoring.

Action from the game last month.

Form Guide

After finishing in 17th position in the Southern League Premier Division South last season Tiverton Town appear to be facing another relegation battle, currently sitting in 21st place, having played 12 games, winning just two (like the Bluebells), drawing one and losing nine.

Their 2 wins were both at home, on 12th August a 3-1, against Dorchester Town and on 6th September they beat Bracknell 2-0. Their only other point was a 1-1 draw at home to Uxbridge, on 20th September, when an 89th minute goal from Ash Hall earned them their last point. They have scored 10 league goals, conceding 24 times.

Taunton knocked them out of the FA Cup in a close fought game (3-4) and a 1-2 reversal at AFC Porchester ended their FA Trophy run at the first hurdle.

Recent meetings

The two teams have met regularly in the past and the most recent meetings (apart from the one in September) were in season 2022/2023 when both teams were last in the Southern League Premier Division South. The first encounter was on 14th September when Tiverton won their home fixture 4-2 but a few days later the Bluebells knocked them out of the FA Cup winning 2-1 at the South West Interiors Stadium. The return league game in January ended in a goalless draw.
