Bath City postpone next two games
BATH City FC have released a statement announcing the postponement of several upcoming fixtures in light of the head injury to striker Alex Fletcher.
The men’s First XI’s upcoming Vanarama National League South fixture against Worthing and Somerset Cup game against Nailsea and Tickenham FC have both been cancelled. For Bath City Women, their fixture against Wellington Ladies FC has also been postponed.
The club said: “New dates for these fixtures will be announced in due course”, adding that “tickets purchased for the home games at Twerton Park will be valid for the rearranged fixtures”.

In a heartfelt message, the club said: “The club would like to thank all those involved for their understanding, as well as the wider community for their touching messages of support.
“We continue to send our unconditional love, strength and support to Alex and his family.”
