BRIDGWATER Town welcome local rivals Taunton Town to Fairfax Park on New Year’s Day (ko 1pm).

The two sides have already met twice this season in the qualifying rounds of the FA Cup, with Bridgwater winning a replay 2-1 after five players had been sent off in the original tie.

Manager Richard Fey says he is looking forward to the occasion and is hoping for a big crowd.

He said: “Taunton have been on a great run and have players from the Conference South last season, so we will have to be at our best to get anything and we will certainly be giving it a go.

“It’s a local derby and we are expecting a big crowd, so supporters should aim to arrive early.”
