Falmouth Town brings the curtain down on their first Western League campaign since 1983 today when they welcome Street to Bickland Park (kick-off at 3 pm).

A campaign full of ups and downs looks set to end on a high, with Andrew Westgarth's side currently enjoying a run of seven wins from their last ten games.

Their midweek win at Welton saw Town leapfrog Shepton Mallet into seventh by virtue of having scored more goals this season, and Westgarth's team will clinch seventh spot if they at least match the Mallet's result this weekend.

Entry on Saturday is half price (£3 for adults and £1.50 for concessions) as a show of appreciation for the fantastic support this season.

Opposition view

Street are playing their second full season back in the Western League following their withdrawal from the Southern League Division 1 South in 2019. The Cobblers earned promotion in 2018 and finished eighth in their sole season at Step 4 before opting to drop back down to the Western League.

Two uncompleted seasons followed before the Somerset outfit finished 16th in the 19-team division last term, but the Cobblers have improved this season and are guaranteed to finish no lower than tenth, with a point on Saturday clinching ninth spot regardless of results elsewhere.

Street have scored 54 goals in all competitions this season, with Harry Foster leading the way with 22 strikes in 29 games, while Jake Mawford is next on the list with six goals this term.
