After Frome Town football players offered to buy tickets for fans to thank them for support, supporters were reward by a first win of the club since late last year.

They beat Bishop Sutton two nil for a turnaround from what had been described as real low point, when they lost five nil to Exmouth Town at the weekend.

From the Frome Town site:

Frome Town bounced back from their recent struggles in the league with victory at Western League Bishop Sutton (January 31) to reach the semi-final of the Somerset Premier Cup. The short trip to the Chew Valley was a chance to reset after what the manager called the lowest point of the season. The Robins managed to record their first win since 22nd November when they saw off Radstock Town in the previous round of the county knockout competition. Rather than a distraction, this fixture saw James Ollis regain his scoring form with a brace as the home side struggled to keep a competent Frome side in check.

Patient and unfussy throughout, the workmanlike nature of the win and the collective performance of the those who featured will soothe staff and supporters after a traumatic afternoon in . A special gesture made by the players, who have wanted to show their appreciation of our away support by offering to purchase the Exmouth attendee's tickets this evening. Plaudits must go to all of the squad members for such a communal and understanding decision and the reward of a high-profile semi-final to be played in the spring was deserved. But before any cup excitement can build, attention turns to a lesser-spotted home match at Badgers Hill against Bishop's Cleeve in what will be a Friday night to be savoured under the lights.
