📝 Match Preview: Taunton Town (A)

Pre-season continues for the Grecians on Tuesday night as they take on Taunton Town at the Cygnet Health Care Stadium in a 7.45pm kick off.

The Grecians have scored nine goals and not conceded so far, following Saturday's 0-0 draw at Bath City and will head to a Taunton side who finished their debut season in the National League South in a respectable 14th place.

Last summer, City were 2-1 winners at Taunton thanks to Tim Dieng's late double. 

Gary's Preview

"I'm hoping to get similar out of this game that we did on Saturday," Gary said.

"The levle of opponent went up and they put up a really good defensive action. We learnt a lot of lessons and it was a good exercise. 

"Hopefully it's a nice evening for football!"
