Steve Jupp, BA11's Club Historian, previews this weekend's trip to the coast.
With a tricky Easter successfully negotiated and on a run of five straight wins, the Robins will be looking to make it a super six on Saturday when they venture to Exmouth Town.
Â
In what has become an enthralling title race, Monday's 2-1 triumph at Melksham took them to the top of the tree for the fourth time since the turn of the year. None of the previous three lasted more than a week, so can their best form of the season be maintained to hold on to that coveted number one spot?

Exmouth currently lie in 17th place but don't be fooled by their lowly position because they too are a team on a roll.
They seemingly couldn't buy a home win all season but towards the end of February, a 5-0 trouncing of Larkhall kick-started their campaign and five wins from seven has lifted them off the bottom and eight points clear of the drop zone.Â
Back in December, in the fog and murk of midwinter, they came perilously close to ending Frome's long Badgers Hill unbeaten run and but for a missed penalty, would have gone two-up just before the interval, before being subsequently beaten by second-half strikes from Kane Simpson and Marcus Day.
King Kane is having one of those purple patches which all strikers dream of, finding the net with quality finishes in each of his last four games, contributing in no small measure to the Robins' impressive tally of 98 goals in all competitions.
Hopefully, they will still be haunted by their last visit to Southern Road just over a year ago when the East Devon outfit dished-out a painful 5-0 drubbing. A wrong that needs to be put right.
