As you'll no doubt be aware, there's been some developments overnight...! Wimborne failed to secure the title, which means we require a win against Manor Farm and are relying on our mates Melksham to take at least a point off the Pies this coming Saturday.
FA TROPHY DRAW! Our number is out of the hat and we can’t wait for another cup classic against National League South side
@TUFC1899
at home! Another chance for the BA11 faithful to get behind the giant-slaying Robins again at Badgers Hill! Buzzing!

FULL TIME! It wasn’t to be this evening. But there is a lot to take from this defeat about how this side has gone about their business, facing up against a quality side. There’ll be ‘what ifs’ about the penalty miss, but rest assured the Robins did us all proud today!
