Saturday sees Tonbridge Angels remember Devonte Aransibia on what is being termed “Devonte Day” and we ask supporters to wear a touch of green to remember ‘Dev.’ A bumper crowd is expected as the Angels look to bounce back from consecutive 90+ minute defeats.
Squad News: Alan Dunne has some tough decisions to make as his squad gets fitter and starts to become injury-free as we enter a key period of the season.
Recent Form: Chippenham Town experienced how the Angels have felt recently when Dominic Revan’s 92nd minute winner secured Salisbury all three points on Tuesday night in the Wiltshire Derby.
Last Meeting: The Angels travelled to Wiltshire on a wet day (when is it not) back in November and returned empty-handed after Anointed Chukwu’s second half goal led The Bluebirds to victory. Bunmi Babajide had a second half penalty saved by Will Henry. Watch the highlights here
Men to watch:
Will Henry: An ever-present for The Bluebirds for the past five years. A reliable shot stopper who has made nearly 200 appearances for the club and saved Babajide’s penalty in the corresponding fixture.
Tom Mehew: A classy holding midfielder who helps orchestrate the Chippenham team with his intricate passing and ability to seek out danger.
Ahead of the match, the club has distributed hundreds of free parent and child match tickets to local junior football clubs with the aim of encouraging schoolchildren and young players to come along with a parent to experience live football for free.
