Bristol Manor Farm vs Bideford
Southern League Division One South
Tuesday 20th November 2018
7:45pm kick off
The Creek, Bristol

Bideford head to Bristol tonight off the back of a disappointing defeat at Blackfield & Langley on Saturday. The loss was The Robins’ first in six games but they will be looking to enter an improved performance at The Creek tonight, a ground on which they were knocked out of the FA Cup back in September. Bristol Manor Farm have not been in good form of late with just one win in their last six which incidentally came over high flying Blackfield & Langley. The Farm have lost their last two in the league against leaders Yate Town and Highworth Town so will be looking to get back to winning ways tonight and start climbing the Division One South table.

A Brief History of Bristol Manor Farm FC
Founded in 1960, Bristol Manor Farm began playing in the Somerset County League after securing a permanent home at The Creek in 1965. After progressing through the divisions, Manor Farm joined Western League Division One in 1977. Following five top ten finishes Bristol Manor Farm won the Division One title in 1982/83 and were promoted to the Premier Division where they would remain for the next 19 years. After being relegated in 2001/02, The Farm were promoted back to the Premier in 2003/04.
