BRIDGWATER Town boss Dave Pearse is urging his side to bounce back from last weekend's FA Vase exit as they welcome fellow high-flyers Bradford Town on Saturday (3pm).

The match pits first against third in the fledgling Western League Premier table, with the Robins' position boosted by a healthy +19 goal difference after seven matches.

Looking ahead to the clash, Pearse said: “They [Bradford] lost to Wellington on Saturday, which was a bit of a surprise, but they are a good side and we will have to be on it from the start.

“Everyone will have to be an eight out of 10 if we are going to win it - last Saturday everyone was about a six.

“We are disappointed to be out of the FA Cup and the Vase so early, but it does give us a chance to focus on our league form and get points on the board.”

Bridgwater Town Reserves, currently top of Division 1 of the Somerset County League, travel to mid-table Uphill Castle, while Middlezoy Rovers host Premier Division leaders Frys Club.

Zoy's reserves head to their Somerton Town counterparts in Division 3.
