Steve Jupp, BA11's Club Historian, ponders our midweek trip to the home counties!
Frome Town get a quick opportunity to end an unwanted run of four straight defeats when
they travel on Tuesday evening to Bulpit Lane, home of Hungerford Town.
Going into last weekend, both sides had the identical record of having lost FIVE of their
opening SEVEN league fixtures but experienced vastly contrasting fortunes with the
Crusaders burying Plymouth Parkway under a goal avalanche to the tune of 9-3, which
elevated them up to thirteenth place.
Frome and Hungerford have met in the Southern League before but not since 2016 when
the Berkshire-based outfit won promotion to National League South. This capped an
impressive rise through the ranks of the pyramid for just seven years previously, they had been
competing at Hellenic League level.
A best finish of sixth was achieved in their seven seasons at Step Two before relegation in
2023 and a final position of eighth last term.
Past Southern League encounters with Hungerford:
Season Division Home Away
2009-10 Div. One S&W W 2-1 D 0-0
2010-11 Div. One S&W L 0-1 W 1-0
2013-14 Prem L 0-2 D 0-0
2014-15 Prem W 1-0 D 1-1
2015-16 Prem L 0-2 L 0-4
Spare a thought for young debutant keeper Isaac Finch who couldn’t do much about the five
that went past him on Saturday. Custodian Colin Paczoski had a harrowing debut in the mid-
80s, conceding EIGHT against Bristol Manor Farm, but in his very next game, saved a
penalty and kept a clean sheet at Torrington. History sometimes has a curious habit of
repeating itself… we hope!
