Match Preview

Cleeve go into Saturday's FA Cup 1st Round Qualifying match with Bideford looking for their 2nd win of the season. The 1st came against Chipping Sodbury in the previous round of the cup but Steve Cleal's men will know they'll need to step it up against a stronger Bideford side who sit 5th in the Southern League West table.

On the fixture, manager Steve Cleal said "It's a nice distraction from the league and being underdogs suits us as we visit a strong Bideford side with a few of our experienced players still missing.

"They've (Bideford) had a good start to the season and I'm looking for a reaction.

The winners of the tie will bag £3000 in prize money and be in the hat for the next round knowing just 3 more wins will see them have the chance of facing Football League opposition. If the match on Saturday is a draw then the replay will be at Kayte Lane on Tuesday 5th Sept subject to confirmation.
