Match Preview: Broadbridge Heath (A)

The Bulls produced another fantastic performance on Saturday, building upon the previous week's success. The win at the weekend saw us leapfrog Hassocks as well as extending the gap to the relegation zone to an important eight points.

Lorne Bickley was the difference maker last time out after his brace helped the Bulls to a crucial 2-0 victory. Plaudits must also go to the defence, who have managed back-to-back clean sheets, helping to set the platform for the rest of the team to go on and get those vital three points.

A win for the Bulls on Tuesday would see us overtake Broadbridge Heath as well as potentially climbing up to ninth in the league (depending on other results). Despite being early on in the season, this would be a fantastic achievement for the club, with it being the Bulls' first season at this higher level. The adjustment from the team has been excellent and their efforts are now starting to pay off.

​Our hosts suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat on the road at the hands of a Margate side, due to a 92nd minute winner, who have now extended their unbeaten run to six matches. As for Broadbridge, they have been a fantastic side at home this season, having the third best home record this season, only losing once. This Broadbridge side has earned a reputation at home this season for racking up heavy wins, scoring five goals in half of their games.

​A player for the Bulls to watch out for on Tuesday is Broadbridge Heath's top scorer Zachary Young, the talisman has already managed to score eight league goals this season. It will be important for the Bulls to keep him quiet if we want to take all three points from the game.

​This is a very important game for the Bears in their maintained challenge for the playoffs as they look to improve on last season's 13th place finish and with the side playing as well as they have been, it is a real opportunity to try and close the gap to Herne Bay, who currently sit in sixth.
