Steve Jupp, BA11's Club Historian, previews another demanding fixture on the road.
Frustrated by Wednesday's washout at Larkhall, the Robins will be keen for some Saturday action when they travel to Willand Rovers.Â
The Devon outfit were league leaders when they visited Badgers Hill back in November but not after Warren Maidment's early double followed by a second half strike from Sam Meakes fired Frome to a comfortable 3-0 victory.Â
Top spot switched hands yet again following Wimborne's 2-1 midweek win against Melksham leaving Frome and Cribbs hot on their heels, both with a game in hand.Â

On the same night as the Larkhall postponement, Willand ended a run of five games without a win with a 3-1 triumph at Tavistock which lifted them up to tenth place.Â
They boast the best home record in Division One South outside of the top three, losing just one of their twelve Silver Street encounters this season and it is a venue where the Robins have struggled to grind out results in recent years.Â
Their last visit, almost exactly twelve months ago, ended all-square at 2-2 when Pierce Mitchell's opportunist effort in stoppage time saved the day.
Winless on their two previous trips to Devon this current campaign (Plymouth Parkway 2-2 and Tavistock 2-6), fans will be hoping this will be third time lucky.
