It's Swans vs Larks today as we welcome Old friends Larkhall Athletic to Wisloe Road, for another home game.
Only a point separates the two sides in the league... With an improving performance against Evesham United midweek, where we held the league leaders off for 78 minutes, and created chances ourselfs, I hope we can come away with something today, hopefully take all 3 points.
A word on Larkhall Athletic... They are old friends of Slimbridge. They are friends with everyone. Probably the friendliest football club, anywhere, ever. The nicest set of supporters you could wish to meet.
I'm looking forward to the return fixture at their ground on the edge of Bath later in the season already. A trip to Plain Ham is always a treat. Winding up the lane from the splendid honey coloured Georgian architecture of Bath, you arrive at Plain Ham overlooked by magical Solsbury Hill (yes the one sung about by Peter Gabriel).
You enter the ground through a wooden shed, signed 'Pay Box'. The pitch has natural grass banking around it where you can stand atop looking down at the pitch, with covered seating running down one side if you wish to sit.
As well as the usual facilities, there is a petanque court if you fancy a game pre or post match.
It's a real gem of a ground. You should go catch a game there if you are in the area. Bath has two football gems in it's crown, both in stark contrast to each other. Larkhall Athletic's rural charm, and Bath City's Twerton Park. Twerton Park is a real throwback to old school concrete brutalism terraces. A real 60s, 70s football experience.
Anyway, back to today's game...
