I feel a bit like Alistair Cooke and his letter from America although mine is a second epistle from Ireland. Surrounded by Yanks among other nations and plenty of the black stuff. It has been a long trek but back for the Saturday extravaganza at Fairfax Park and the meeting with nearest - apart from Taunton - neighbours in the BGBL South and West division. A measure for the two league encounters if nothing else.

Welcome to Paulton deserved winners of their replay for this FA Cup encounter. Should be a good match and one to whet the appetite for more on the road to Wembley.

Lets make sure we hear you all with the usual Bridgwater vocal support. It really matters and helps the team.

The second FA bit of the week although hard luck on the U/18s in the defeat against the strong Bath City side. All good experience

Enjoy today and the hospitality...
