WESTON TAKE ON TIVERTON TOWN IN EASTER MONDAY CLASH

Weston are back at the Optima Stadium as they take on Tiverton Town this Bank Holiday Monday, April 10th. The match kicks off at 3pm.

The game with Tivvy is the first of three consecutive home games, and comes just 48 hours after Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Hartley Wintney. While The Seagulls were drawing in Hampshire, The Yellows were defeating Gosport Borough by one goal to nil, as Ed James, on loan from Exeter City, scored the only goal at Ladysmead.

That was their second successive 1-0 victory on home soil, after beating Hendon earlier in the week courtesy of a Dylan Jones goal.

Tivvy, therefore, come into this game in good form and are undefeated in their last five league games. In their last away fixture they picked up a decent 3-3 draw at Swindon Supermarine, so Weston will need to be wary of this good form.

Earlier in the season, on Boxing Day, Weston returned home from Devon with a 2-0 victory after goals from ex-Tiverton players Scott Laird and Jordan Bastin.

They are not the only players expected to line up against their old sides this Monday. Olly Mehew started for Tiverton that day but joined Weston soon after, while Lucas Vowles also played in the white of Weston before joining The Yellows last summer.

Tiverton joint-manager, Scott Rogers, also had a spell at Weston earlier in his career.

Games between Weston and Tiverton tend to be entertaining affairs, and hopefully this trend will continue in what should be a bumper Bank Holiday crowd at the Optima.
