Tale Of Two Form Sides Set The Stage For A Cracker

By Sam Elliott

Two of the country’s form sides go head-to-head on Saturday as Vanarama National League leaders Bromley make the trip to Somerset to take on Yeovil.

The table-topping Ravens head into the clash on the back of midweek victory over fellow high-flyers Woking at Hayes Lane – a win that moved them four points clear of the chasing pack.

Neil Smith’s troops now boast an impressive 13 game record and, having inflicted the Cardinals’ first defeat in 11 matches, will be looking to halt the Glovers’ six match winning run this weekend.

European Champions Liverpool are the only side who can match Yeovil’s current hot streak and Bromley boss Smith is expecting another tough contest come kick-off.

“We knew it would be a tough game against Woking who were ten games unbeaten”, he said.

“Yeovil have put a fantastic run together so we don’t expect anything but a hard game, but we will make sure that we are ready for it."

There has been little to cheer of late for Yeovil fans. Three relegations in six years saw their 16-year stay in the Football League abruptly ended.

But with off-the-field matters settled and the Glovers sitting pretty in joint-second, things are starting to head in the right direction once more.

“We are having so many great experiences at the minute especially with the fans,” Sarll told the club’s official video service.

“But we need to make sure we are balanced and humble. We need to keep our feet on the floor and understand what it takes to win games.

“Winning games is the hardest thing so we’ve got to make sure we reset Thursday and Friday before we get ready for Saturday."
