Having not played at home for three months, joint managers, Matt Trenaman and Perry Carpenter, will be looking forward to having a home advantage for the first time since their 2-1 victory against Totnes and Dartington on December 7.
Of their away run of fixtures the team has managed only two victories – at Teignmouth and Exeter University - but apart from an emphatic adverse scoreline at Stoke Gabriel the other four games have only been decided by a single goal.
United's latest match last Saturday at Okehampton epitomised their current form when for much of the game they dominated the play but were unable to get the vital opening goal.
Player-Manager Trenaman summed up the teams fortune with his post match comments: "It sums up our season really – there was a bit too much huff and puff and not enough end product.
"It was exactly the same story against Newton Abbot when we deserved, at least, to share the points but conceded a goal and lost 1-0.
"At Okehampton we outplayed them in the first half but just could not score."
The home team came into the game more in the second half playing down the slope and Ollie Crimshaw set up Ed Bradshaw for the winning goal 10 minutes from full-time.
United's hopes of securing a final place in the South West Peninsula League East Division's top six has taken a severe knocking and Trenaman and Carpenter must be looking to win the remainder of their seven games to achieve this.
However following last season's debacle of finishing with the "Wooden Spoon" a top half finish would be a major achievement.
From a supporters point of view the knowledge that the team appears now to be able to hold its own and any opposition in the Division has been very pleasing.
We have a good team playing attractive football and importantly playing local players who have progressed at some stage through the Club Youth section.
