Match Day Guide - Bracknell Town

We face Bracknell Town at Penydarren Park on Saturday afternoon for another crucial tie in the Pitching IN Southern League Premier title race (3pm Kick Off).


The Martyrs will be aiming to return to winning ways, after a sticky run of three draws has allowed second-placed AFC Totton to close the gap at the top. Bracknell will prove difficult opposition though, managed by former Slough Town boss, Jon Underwood as his Robins side aim to keep their push for that final play-off place alive.

Last Meeting

Earlier this season, The Martyrs travelled to Bracknell Town in late November, where a late winner from Frazer Thomas gave the Martyrs a 2-1 victory over the robins.

Bracknell’s attacking threats in Jordan Esprit & Seb Bowerman will be the ones to watch for Saturday’s opponents, with both players returning to the club this season after spells away at Hemel Hempstead and Dorking Wanderers in the National League South respectively.
