Steve Jupp, BA11's Club Historian, ponders another tricky away assignment.
The Robins' title challenge takes them north on Saturday to do battle with the Robins of Worcestershire, play-off chasing Evesham United.Â
On paper, it looks like a tough challenge for Danny Greaves' side against a team who boast the best defensive record in Division One South with only 31 goals conceded to date.Â
On the other hand, however, their home record is modest, chalking-up just four league victories at their Spiers and Hartwell Stadium, and only the bottom trio of Westbury, Exmouth and Paulton have won fewer times on home soil.
Frome themselves have tightened-up at the back impressively in recent weeks, recording three clean sheets in a row for the first time this season and with five wins and a draw from their last six, have hit the sort of form needed to push table-toppers Wimborne all the way.

Evesham, with one win, four draws and a loss from their last six outings, currently occupy fifth spot and will be looking to emulate their achievement last season of making the play-offs and may yet have a big say in the title race as they've still to visit Wimborne (a fixture scheduled for Tuesday evening this week which fell foul of the weather).
When they came to Badgers Hill back in September, Frome looked to have the contest sewn-up late on as a James Ollis strike made it 3-1 against ten men but a second yellow for Pierce Mitchell coupled with a second Evesham goal gave rise to an anxious finale, but 3-2 it finished and a similar outcome on Saturday would make for a happy homeward hop down the M5.
