Bridges visit The Artic Stadium on Saturday in search of their first away points of the season following defeats at Beckenham Town and Ashford United during the last week.
While a run to the third round qualifying in the FA Cup saw them entertain National League North side Hereford in front of over 700 supporters, Jamie Crellin’s side currently lie in 15th place in the league – just one point clear of the relegation play-off places.
Manager Crellin assumed command of Three Bridges at the start of last season after making over 100 appearances for the Club following a move from Hastings United. The 30 year old former midfielder took the reins from Club chairman Paul Faili - guiding the Bridges to a comfortable 14th place finish with 44 points.
When we met at the Artic Stadium in March, Dan Parry netted a late winner for Bridges in an end to end encounter as Valley’s home form stuttered on the run in to the finishing line.
Banging the goals in for the West Sussex side this season has been 32 year old Kieron Pamment – the striker signed on a dual registration from Worthing netting on 9 occasions in 17 games this season.
Valley will be looking to build on last weeks win against Haywards Heath and put together two successive league victories for the first time this season.
