Despite the poor weather forecast, a bumper crowd is expected to turn out to see Bideford's 'derby' game against a strong Truro squad manager Steve Tulley has assembled since his appointment as manager during the end of last season.
Truro currently lie in 13th place after the 5 games they have so far played, with a record of W2 D1 L2. Their two losses have been against what many believed pre season to be title contenders, Chesham and St Neots, and their draw was an impressive one away to much fancied Cambridge City. The two wins were against another couple of strong outfits in the shape of Hungerford and Paulton Rovers.
Results:
L | H | Chesham United | 0 | - | 3 |
W | A | Paulton Rovers | 2 | - | 1 |
D | A | Cambridge City | 1 | - | 1 |
W | H | Hungerford Town | 2 | - | 1 |
L | H | St Neots Town | 2 | - | 3 |

This game will also see the return to the Sports Ground of two former Biddy favourites, Craig Duff and Rob Farkins, both of whom make their first appearance back at Bideford after leaving in the close season to play for the White Tigers.
Corresponding game on boxing Day last season saw honours even as 10 man Biddy secured a point after Matt Bye was sent off early in to the second half.
