Bishops Cleeve will be hoping to get back to winning ways on Saturday, as they face a struggling Melksham side.

The Mitres were defeated 3-1 by Malvern, as Ross Langworthy's consolation was the only time Cleeve hit the back of the net.

They stayed in sixth, two points off a Shaftesbury side who had their game called off, while the visitors now see themselves in second, 11 points off league leaders Frome Town.

Cleeve have been in average form as of late, with a stop-and-go record in their last five bringing two wins and three losses to Frome, Shaftesbury and Malvern.

Meanwhile, Melksham currently sit on the edge of the relegation zone, as they look to finally kickstart their season with little time left.

Town have only won one of their last five, with four defeats in a row to the likes of Larkhall, Willand, Shaftesbury and most recently a 2-0 defeat to Didcot Town.

It will be a homecoming game for Mitre Devanti McInerney, who signed from Melksham in November.

In their last five meetings, Melksham actually have a better record than Paul Collicutt’s men with three wins. But their Mitres won the November game at Kayte Lane 3-1 thanks to a Toby Holland masterclass, which saw him score a hat trick and secure all three points.
