BUDE Town boss Steve Hackett admits recent cancellations ‘haven’t been ideal’ as the Seasiders hope to return to league action in South West Peninsula League Premier West tomorrow afternoon at St Day (3pm).

The North Cornwall outfit head west sitting seventh in the table with 28 points from 20 outings, and head into the final third of the season only six points behind fifth-placed Camelford.

However, the first of those games are at a St Day side who are looking to ensure they finish ahead of fellow strugglers, Launceston, Dobwalls and Truro City, a feat which won’t be easy considering just two of their final 11 games are at Vogue Park.

Hackett said: “We are looking forward to tomorrow, it’s always a nice place to visit with great facilities.

“We know that they have picked up in the last couple of months and are expecting a hard game from them, and from following a few recent reports, we need to be cautious from set-pieces especially.

“We are looking forward to seeing our new signings Ollie Cleave (winger/forward), Mason Chapman (centre-back) and Nathan Colley (central midfielder) in action for this one, but we’ll be missing captain Ewan Reeves as he heads off for a ski season for a few months.

“The recent cancellations haven’t been ideal as you lose momentum and routine, but the lads are looking to have a strong end to the season.”
