Danny previews the upcoming week, as well as looking at events that happened on this day for the week commencing 5th December.

THE WEEK AHEAD

Saturday – Bath City U18’s v TUFC U18’s @ Twerton Park (10.30 KO)

Dickson’s young Gulls’ will be looking to bounce back after a defeat to Yeovil a couple of weeks ago. They travel to bottom of the table Bath, who have just one win from their first 8 matches.

Sunday – Oldham v TUFC @ Boundary Park (15.00 KO)

In front of the BT Cameras once more, United will be looking for back-to-back wins for the first time this season. A morale boasting victory at Dagenham has set this one up nicely as the Yellows aim to move out of the relegation zone for the first time in months. Oldham occupy 23rd place at the time of writing, but do play one of their 3 games in hand on Tuesday night, as they travel to Boreham Wood.

Sunday – TUWFC v Forest Green Rovers Women @ Coach Road (14.00 KO)

After a comprehensive win at Poole last weekend, United host table toppers FGR in what will be a tough test. 6 points separate the two sides, with the Gulls’ having played 3 games less.

PLAYED FOR BOTH

Reuben Hazell enjoyed a two-year spell in the Riviera, before making over 150 appearances for the Latics. Whilst, Rodney Jack made his name at Plainmoor, earning himself a £650k move to Crewe. He spent a short time at Oldham in the 2004/05 season, scoring 2 goals in 10 appearances.
