ILMINSTER face a tough task in the premier division of the Somerset County league on Saturday when they visit in-form Odd Down reserves (3pm).

The Bath side may be just two places above the struggling Blues but their form has been transformed after a slow start to the season.

Boosted by the return of a couple of players from Toolstation Western league outfit Western Rovers, Odd Down have won all three matches since the turn of the year, culminating in a 2-0 win at Minehead last weekend.

Ilminster, who are struggling to avoid relegation, were forced to call off their match at home to second-placed Clutton on Saturday because of a waterlogged pitch.

The good news for manager Darren Manley is that he will be able to pick from a full-strength squad with the exception of defender Ashley Locke.
