Totton Look To Clean Up In Bath
Totton Look To Clean Up In Bath
Thursday, 22nd Oct 2009 22:55

AFC Totton look to reach the first round of the FA Cup for the first time in their history.

The Stags have had some big games in recent years, including a vissit to the new Wembley for the FA Vase Final, however never have they played as big a game as the one they face at Twerton Park on Saturday.

Although Bath City are only two divisions above the Stags, they are one of the giants of non league football and provide a stiff test for the Testwood Park side.

However the fact that they are underdogs may work for Totton and the pressure will be on Bath to win the game.

If They can beat Bath then the Stags could get a big pay day, with the chance to face Saints or even Leeds in the First Round, or perhaps they could even emulate Havant & Waterlooville who reached the fourth round two years ago and eventually lost to Liverpool at Anfield.

On the day the game could suit Totton, who rely on their speed and firepower up front, Bath play to a big front man and Totton will  look to nullify that threat and then get the ball quickly to the feet of their frontmen.

The Stags have players with experience at the level Bath play at, so the tie holds no fear, although naturally they know that they will have to raise their game and play to their ability, otherwise Bath could take control, the task iss to be in the First Round draw on Sunday and if Totton manage that then it will be a big achievement by manager Stuart Ritchie and his boys.
