Match Preview

Chard will be looking to get their season going today at Portishead Town, following a pointless start from the first two games of the season. Manager Paul Down will be keen to get the first points on the board but will know it's still early days as the robins look to improve on last season's 10th place finish. Chard go into the encounter without Kieran Bailey, Dave Duarte and Pat Golden.

Meanwhile the reserves close in on their season-starter with a pre-season friendly at Bishops Lydeard.
