UP next for Taunton Town is an away trip on Boxing Day to take on local rivals in the National League South, Weymouth Town.

A tough fixture is in store for the Peacocks as when you look at form, Weymouth are flying high.

They have picked up 10 points in the last five league fixtures, but despite that, they still sit in 22nd place in the league table.

Taunton are currently in 17th place with four games in hand over the South coast rivals.

Taunton is currently a depleted squad as illness has hit the team fairly hard during this festive period. Despite that, the players put in a shift to earn a 0-1 away win over Slough this week.

This fixture has had plenty of build up, both on and off the pitch. That is due to a lot of the players in both sides knowing each other well.

And off the pitch as well, as this fixture was originally scheduled for a home game in Taunton.

The match kicks off at 3pm on Monday, December 26 in Weymouth and is an all ticket fixture.
