Exmouth Town have their final home game of the season this Saturday, as they take on Winchester City at the Complete Infrastructure Stadium.

Town will be aiming to play spoiler to the Citizens campaign, as they are one of three sides fighting to finish in the final two play-off places.

The Opposition

It has been a good season for Winchester, who have recovered from their relegation last season to assert themselves as one of the strongest teams in the league.

They have recently had a five game unbeaten run snapped by play-off rivals Shaftesbury, but as they sit in fourth, Craig Davis’ side are in the so-called ‘drivers seat’ to extend their season.

In the reverse fixture, a last minute goalkeeping injury saw Martin Rice in-between the sticks, and Town were beaten 3-1 at the Charters Community Stadium.

Pre-Match Chat

Speaking after the Frome Town game, manager Kevin Hill said: “It’ll be more of the same, these are the games the lads seem to get up for.

We haven’t played Winchester at home before, and they’ve got something to play for.

For us, we are going to try and get a scalp, and win our last home game of the season, I don’t want to go out losing four or five games, I want to win the last two and get some momentum going for next season.”
