Our last long trip of the year, 120 miles west towards we face the Romans in the first of our three last away games. Our last meeting with The Romans ended up a six-goal thriller with the Tudors coming out on top with a 4-2 victory at the Focus. This time around, a lot has changed included two entirely new managers. Let’s learn some more about Darren Way’s Bath City FC.
Key Info:
Founded: 1889
Nickname: The Romans
Manager: Darren Way
Stadium: Twerton Park
Capacity: 8,840 (1006 seated)
The Manager | Darren Way
After a less than desirable start to the season that saw 13 points in 10 games, The Romans parted ways with their previous manager Jerry Gill. Darren Way was appointed just before Christmas 2024, after leaving his long tenure at Yeovil Town in 2019 with a 29.6 win percentage over 189 games. The Romans current form stands at 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses under his 15 game leadership.
LAST TWO:
NEXT TWO:
Star Man | Scott Wilson
Center-forward Scott Wilson is the clubs current top scorer, netting 9 goals in all competitions for The Romans. Starting his football career with Bristol City U12, he has moved between non-league clubs, including Weston-Super-Mare. Making a move up to Notts County in 2020 before returning to non-league with Dagenham and Redbridge.
The Skipper | Kieran Parsell
Defender Kieran Parsell joined The Romans from Chippenham Town FC in June 2022, and has since become a well respected part of Bath City’s success.
Last Time Out:
When The Romans came to the Focus near the beginning of the season, both clubs were in very different positions as they are now. In the Bobby Wilkinson Era, The Tudors were looking for their 6th game unbeaten after a fantastic start winning them 3 games out of 5 prior to this match up. Bath were still under the management of Jerry Gill. A game of absolutely everything, with major injuries, 2 red cards and 4 home goals before the break, saw Tudors end up outright winners, leaving The Romans struggling to make the comeback.
A big trip to Twerton Park for the Tudors and a big chance to make the gap between 9th and 8th even closer, if other results in the league go their way. See you in Somerset!
