Manager, Graham Clarke, was quite naturally enthusiastic when speaking with www.somersetfa.com this week. “We had a very good pre-season, winning all three of our friendlies, and then to get a win over Cornwall was most heartening. I expect both Cornwall and ourselves to be challenging for the top spot in the West Country and this has really prepared us for the clash with Sussex. I have been able to assemble probably the strongest squad for some years and they played some really good football against their Cornish rivals.”

Clarke has selected the following squad for the Sussex tie

Jack Scriven   Radstock Town.
Keelan Gunningham   Bridgwater Town.
Lucas Elliman    Clevedon Town.
Charlie Cook    Welton Rovers.
Rico Sobers    Radstock Town.

Jordan Lovibond   Bridgwater Town.
Kofi Martin    Bridgwater Town.
