Steve Jupp, BA11's Club Historian, contemplates this Saturday's arduous test in the New Forest.
Having seen off the previously unbeaten Mousehole last week, the Robins travel to Bashley on Saturday aiming to extend their own impressive run of five league wins on the bounce.
Although the Hampshire-based outfit currently lie in 15th place with two wins, two draws and three losses from seven, they do have games in hand on most others and they did beat leaders Willand Rovers last month.
Danny Greaves will know his side will have to be on top of their game to get a positive result at the Glen Mex Stadium as Bashley fall into that 'hard to break down' category and proved to be a real nemesis last season.
They did the treble over The Robins, winning 1-0 in both Southern League encounters and 4-1 in that highly forgettable rearranged FA Trophy tie.
The Bash came close to clinching a play-off spot last term, eventually finishing seventh. Only champions Totton and runners-up Sholing had a better defensive record than them and they have carried that form at the back into the current campaign.
Frome themselves are flying at the moment, winning eleven of their last thirteen games and scoring 39 times in the process. It promises to be an intriguing contest!
