It’s a quick turnaround at Kayte Lane as Bishops Cleeve FC host Melksham, only four days after Tuesday night success against fellow Gloucestershire side Hartpury.

The game finished 1-0 to the Mitres, with a horror own goal being the key moment to separate the sides.

Next up is Melksham, who are currently placed 21st out of 22 in the Division One South table, having won only one of their opening seven games in the league.

Said win came against Hungerford, who trail Cleeve in the table by only one place, sat in fifth just one point behind Paul Collicutt’s side. Cleeve, however, have two games in hand, with just the six league games played so far.

Melksham’s last game came against Worcester Raiders at home, with the visitors overturning a 1-0 half-time deficit to win 2-1. Melksham’s one and only goal came through Kitan Jaiyeoba, who converted from the penalty spot.

It was the attacking midfielder’s third goal of the season, with his first two coming in the cup earlier this campaign. The three make him the club’s top goalscorer in all competitions.

Kick-off on Saturday is at 3pm, with Collicutt’s side hoping to secure their sixth league win of the season.
