Match Preview – Eastbourne Borough (A) – Enterprise National League South

New manager Scott Bartlett takes charge of the Romans for the first time tomorrow afternoon, with a long trip to face Eastbourne Borough at Connect Management Stadium.

PREVIOUS MEETINGS

Bartlett’s first game in charge is against familiar opposition – this is the 14th successive season where the Romans have played Eastbourne at this level. Their first meeting was in September 2003 in the Southern League, the final year before the introduction of Conference (now National League) South. They also met twice in Conference Premier in 2010/11, a year where Eastbourne were relegated. City followed them a season after.

Overall record v Eastbourne Borough:
Pld 31 W16 D9 L6 F43 A31

National League South:
Pld 27 W14 D7 L5 F39 A28

This season:
Home W2-0 (Jenkins Davies 16, Ash 46)

TRIVIA

• Eastbourne’s win here over City last season ended a run of four straight successes for the Romans vs the Sports. It was Lee Kendall’s first defeat as interim manager.
• Kieran Parselle will make his 199th appearance if he figures, against the side where he scored his first Bath City goal – a last minute header in a thrilling 4-3 success in August 2022.
