Match Preview TAFC

Match Preview- Tavistock AFC (H)

The Acorns will be looking to go three games unbeaten this weekend when we welcome Tavistock AFC to the 4ED Hartpury Stadium.

A commanding victory to start November against Brixham AFC before a defensively brilliant performance at Frome Town last time out, sees the Acorns head into Saturday unbeaten in November.

Ahead of Tavistock’s visit, here is everything you need to know about them.

THE OPPOSITION- TAVISTOCK AFC

STADIUM- Langsford Park

NICKNAME- The Lambs

FOUNDED- 1888

MANAGER- Stuart Henderson

LEAGUE POSITION- 22nd

LAST FIVE- L-W-L-L-L 

WHAT’S HAPPENED SO FAR THIS SEASON?

It’s been a struggling season for the Lambs who currently occupy the foot of the table following three straight defeats.

The Lambs have mustered just three wins in the league this season against Bashley, Mousehole, and Falmouth Town, whilst winning just one of their last five.

Last time out, Tavistock were eyeing up a huge win over Westbury United, leading 2-0 on 51 minutes but a 12 minute turnaround minutes later saw Westbury walk away 3-2 winners.

PLAYER TO WATCH- JACOB BOWKER

In a team that has only managed 11 goals in the league this season, Jacob Bowker bagged two of those during last Saturday’s five goal thriller against Westbury.

Goals either side of half time saw Bowker notch his season tally up to four goals so far this campaign.
