Bishops Cleeve will travel to Bristol Manor Farm this weekend, as the Mitres look to keep their spot in the playoffs.

Cleeve have had a successful week so far, going into the GFA Senior Challenge Cup final thanks to goals from Ross Langworthy and a last-minute winner by Jake Lee to defeat the youthful Robins and set up a meeting with either Yate Town or Forest Green in the final.
The league has been a positive, with a late brace from Langworthy securing all three points to place Paul Collicutt’s men in fifth with Shaftesbury two points behind and the Mitres being placed on the same points as last week's opponents, Winchester City.
Meanwhile, for Manor Farm, they’ve had a topsy-turvy season, with the Farmy Army sitting in 16th, four points above the relegation zone. There was a positive for the Creekside this week, with a win over Melksham Town bagging them a massive three points.
Manor Farm had poor form before their win on Tuesday, with eight games on the bounce without a win, and they’ll be hoping to go on a run of games, starting off with the Mitres.
The two sides have played each other eleven times, with Cleeve coming out on top four times, while Manor Farm have won five, with two draws.
