BRIDPORT are preparing for their 'biggest game of the season' when Bovey Tracey come to St Mary's this weekend buoyed off the back of a 4-1 win away at Crediton United on Saturday.
Bees boss Chris Herbst was 'very happy' after his side came from 1-0 down to beat Crediton ahead of the club's title showdown with Bovey but the game did not start as they would have hoped.
Despite starting well with a series of corners and chances, Crediton took the lead through Riley Harris in the 15th minute.
Bridport restored parity immediately after some brilliant work Between Harley Brook and Riley Weedon allowed Parsons to fire into the top corner from 25 yards.
Not content to stop there, Bridport pushed for a second and Sol Ayunga duly provided after skinning several Crediton defenders before curling an effort into the top corner in the 27th minute.
Brook made it 3-1 before the break as he headed home from a Kieran Daniels freekick six minutes later.
It was more of the same from Bridport in the second half and Weedon came close with two great opportunities one-on-one but Crediton's keeper stood firm and the second he fired wide.
The goal scoring was rounded off by Will Gape just after the hour mark after another Daniels set play - this time a corner - found its mark allowing the midfielder to power home a header.
Herbst said: "Overall very happy with how we played the goal was against the run of play and to score straight after was pleasing.
"Another day we could have scored a lot more which is pleasing as it’s showing we’re creating loads of chances."
Attention now turns to this weekend's showdown with Bovey Tracey - a game that Herbst has billed as the club's 'biggest of the season'.
They are five points clear of their rivals but have played four more games. Victory would see them go eight points clear and really ramp up the pressure. Herbst was also taking confidence from their recent 7-6 win to their closest rivals.
On this weekend's game, Herbst added: "Looking ahead to Bovey, this is without doubt our biggest game of the season.
"They’ll be coming to us wanting to try and even things out but I’m fully confident in our lads that we can beat them again but we have to be at our best as they are without doubt a quality side.
"Regardless of Bovey's games in hand it’s a must win for both teams. We're looking forward to playing at home as well as it’s been a long time, so hopefully we have a big crowd supporting the team."
