  • Ferris double seals opening day victory

Saturday 8th August: Frome Town 2-0 Wimborne Town

Frome Town started their Premier Division South campaign in the perfect way with a 2-0 victory over Wimborne in front of 638 people at Badgers Hill.

The Magpies had the first opportunity of the game inside three minutes but Lewis Williams dragged his shot wide. Ten minutes later, Albie Hopkins saw his cross from the right deflected into the path of Callum Gould on the edge of the area who rifled his effort just over the bar. That would have been an incredible goal to kick-start the season.

Chances did seem aplenty in the first-half as a nice training ground move for the hosts just after the 20-minute mark saw Hopkins fizz in a ball from a set piece. Archie Ferris managed to get a flick on it as it just brushed the top of the crossbar and ricocheted away for a goal kick. It was a brilliant team move from Danny Greaves’ side.

  • Flyte return to Cheese and Grain

English singer-songwriters Flyte will be returning to Frome next month for a show at the Cheese and Grain.

Formed by longtime friends Will Taylor and Nick Hill, the band will perform on Friday 11th September.

Flyte will be returning to Frome after releasing recordings last year from a day spent at the Bert Jansch Studio. They also performed at the Tree House in 2024.

Organisers said, “Flyte have quietly built a reputation as one of the UK’s most thoughtful and emotionally resonant modern bands. Across acclaimed releases including The Loved Ones, This Is Really Going To Hurt and their 2023 self-titled album Flyte, the duo have carved out a sound that blends classic singer-songwriter intimacy with rich, contemporary production and breathtaking vocal harmony.

The funds were raised by For Dads Sake for the charity, which provides counselling support for new parents, pregnant people and those who have experienced baby loss.

For Dads Sake was formed last year to provide a network of support and a space for dads to talk, share advice and build friendships.

  • Frome impress against higher league Salisbury

Pre-season friendly: Saturday 25th July
Frome Town 3-0 Salisbury City

Frome Town delivered another victory in pre-season, this time against higher league opposition in Salisbury, as they ran out 3-0 winners in front of the Badgers Hill faithful.

Brian Dutton’s side fashioned a good chance to open the scoring ten minutes into the game when a cross came in from the left searching for Jaiden Bartolo but Kyle Phillips was very quick off his line to gather the ball.

The first Frome chance came in the 20th minute after a great ball from George Dowling to find Zack Ali down the left. The full-back continued his run into the box and his effort was a whisker past the far post. 

Salisbury then hit the bar with a Harry Thomas header from a corner before the hosts opened the scoring two minutes before half-time. It was Archie Ferris with a neat pass into Zac Drew down the right and the number 10 showed great composure to poke the ball past Will Henry in goal to give the Dodge the lead going into the break.
