Cheltenham Town welcome promotion-hunting AFC Bournemouth to Kayte Lane on Sunday afternoon (2pm kick-off).
The tough games do not stop for Cheltenham, with Tom Davies’ side taking on another promotion hopeful.
Cheltenham suffered a 3-0 defeat to top-of-the-table Watford last time out two weeks ago, and that followed a midweek 2-2 draw with Gwalia United, in which new strikers Indie Power and Georgia Galley both netted their first goals for the club.
Although it will be a tough ask for the Robinesses, picking up a win would equal the highest number of wins ever recorded at Tier Three level, the record standing at seven, a record that was set last season.
Despite the fact Helen Bleazard’s side sit third, they have games in hand over top of theleague Watford and second-placed Plymouth Argyle, and are looking to achieve back-to-back promotions.
In all competitions, the Cherries have won four of their last five, but suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Oxford United, a defeat which ended their 1,081-day unbeaten league run a few weeks ago.
However, since then, they have bounced back well, registering a 2-0 win over Gwalia and a 4-1 win over Real Bedford last weekend.
It finished 2-0 to Bournemouth the last time the two sides met, second-half goals from Gemma McGuiness and Georgia Wilson condemning the Robinesses to a defeat on the road.
Tickets for the game are £6 for adults and £1 for U18s, with tickets available in advance HERE for home fans and here for away fans. Tickets are also available to buy on the gate.
For supporters unable to attend, follow along with our live action updates on the club’s X account (formerly Twitter) as well as Instagram, with live commentary also available on the club’s Mixlr channel.
