It’s round 34 in the Pitching In Southern League Central Division One, with the visit of Barton Rovers to the ASM Stadium. This is another big game for both sides, a preverbal six pointer, with Barton sittng in the play off spots and Thame just out side, and with games running out a win for either side could be significant in the push for a play off spot. When the two teams met earlier in the season, Barton came out on top 3 - 0, but that didn't tell the whole story, with Thame down to 10 men from the 30th minute, two late goals in added time finally sealed the victory for the home side, after a close match.

Both teams come into the match on a good run of form, Barton undefeated in nine matches with Thame un-defeated in seven, in fact Thame have only lost once in the last twelve games. Both teams have played twice in the
last this week, Barton scoring an injury time goal to beat at AFC Dunstable 2 -1 on Saturday while Thame battled out a 2 - 2 draw at Stotfold. On Tuesday night Barton again scored an injury time goal to earn a 1 - 1 draw at
Northwood while Thame couldn’t finish their chances and came away with a 0 - 0 draw at AFC Dunstable. Overall this has been a good season for both sides in the league and also in their respectve County Senior Cups,
with Barton reaching the Bedfordshire final where they will play AFC Dunstable on 15 April, while Thame have reached the Oxfordshire Senior Cup Final for the third successive year, where they will play Ardley United at Oxford City on 3 May.
