Farnham Town vs Bishop's Cleeve
LONDON (Interstat) — Two unbeaten sides in the FA Trophy will clash Saturday when Farnham Town hosts Bishop’s Cleeve in a fifth-round qualifying match.
The fixture, scheduled for Oct. 25, 2025, pits a high-scoring Farnham Town side against a Bishop’s Cleeve team known for its offensive outbursts. Both clubs enter the contest with momentum and unblemished records within the national knockout competition.
Farnham Town holds a 1-0-1 record in the Trophy and is undefeated across all competitions this season at 3-0-1. They are riding high after a 4-2 road victory over Chichester City on Oct. 4.
Bishop’s Cleeve boasts a 2-0-1 Trophy record and a 3-1-1 mark in all matches. They are coming off a dominant 4-2 home win against Fareham Town on Sept. 20, a performance that highlighted their potent attack. However, their form has been inconsistent, including a 5-2 loss to Wimborne Town on Aug. 30.
According to Interstat’s game simulator, Farnham Town is projected to advance with a 3-1 victory. The model likely favors the home side’s perfect overall record and consistent goal-scoring, which includes a 3-0 win over Erith Town in late August.
Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time at Farnham Town’s Memorial Ground. The winner will advance to the first round proper of the historic competition.
