Exmouth Town will complete their 25/26 season on Saturday, when they travel to Cockrams to take on Shaftesbury FC in the Southern League Division One South.

Town can have their say on their opponents play-off hopes, although they will need to win heavily to prevent the Rockies from extending their season, with Bishops Cleeve needing a big win as well.

The Opposition

It has been a strong season for Shaftesbury, who occupy the final play-off place with a three point lead on Bishops Cleeve, as well as a big goal difference advantage.

A win on Saturday alongside a Winchester City loss would see them move up to fourth, which would book them a visit to Malvern Town. A trip to Portishead would await them if nothing changes this weekend.

The Rockies have won four of their last five, and will want to continue that form heading into the play-offs.
