Following Saturday’s comeback victory over Swindon Supermarine, It’s a second take at this fixture with the original one being called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

Ahead of Tavistock’s visit, here is everything you need to know about them.

NICKNAME- The Lambs

FOUNDED- 1888

MANAGER- Stuart Henderson

LEAGUE POSITION- 22nd

WHAT’S HAPPENED SO FAR THIS SEASON?

It’s been a struggling season for the Lambs who currently occupy the foot of the table following four straight defeats.

The Lambs have mustered just three wins in the league this season against Bashley, Mousehole, and Falmouth Town, whilst winning just one of their last five.

November was a slow month for the Lambs as well, playing just three games due to multiple postponements with the bad weather we endured.

It hasn’t been easy on the road for the side either, with the Lambs winning just two of their 11 games away from Langsford Park.

PLAYER TO WATCH- JACOB BOWKER

In a team that has only managed 12 goals in the league this season, Jacob Bowker bagged two of those during their five goal thriller against Westbury, at the start of November.

Goals either side of half time saw Bowker notch his season tally up to four goals so far this campaign.
