When Bunny met Derve
Paulton Rovers recent trip to Melksham Town pitted the old Master against his young apprentice. Current Paulton Manager, Nick Bunyard, played for Darren Perrin when he managed the Paulton side that gained promotion to the Southern League. Nick has since surpassed this feat, taking Paulton into the Southern League Premier Division for the first time in the Clubs history.
I managed to catch both managers together, at the conclusion of an enthralling pre-season friendly. Rovers ran out 2 nil winners, but Melksham could count themselves unlucky not to take a memorable victory, with an impressive second half display.
