Match Preview – SUPER SATURDAY

Shepton Mallet AFC v Torpoint AFC
Saturday 7th January – 3pm

Shepton play their 2nd game in 2023 looking to maintain their recent good form.

Monday was a great point on the road in deepest Cornwall but Mousehole continued their march up the table taking our 3rd place ( on goal difference )in the Toolstation Western League Premier.

Losing 2-1 to Torpoint in the reverse fixture on the 1st October plus having keeper Easterbrook shown a red card, Shepton will be looking to avenge this result on Saturday.

Torpoint currently sit 14th in the division with 20 points from 20 games consisting of 5 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses and yet to win on the road in the league. They currently sit 9th in the league form guide LLDWDW and on their best run this season beating a very strong Buckland on Monday.

Having played the same amount of games, Shepton have 42 points with 13 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses and 7 wins from 10 home games. Shepton are 3rd in the league form guide LWWWWD, with the best defensive record in the league conceding only 16 goals.

Shepton unbeaten in 5 versus Torpoint unbeaten in 4, another intriguing game in store.

Date for the diary. 17th January at 7.30 pm. We travel to local rivals Wells City in the Les Phillips Cup.
