Sunday 1 November 2026 · By Tessa Gadsby

Farnborough followed a 2–1 win over Weston-super-Mare on Wednesday 28 October, Mason Bloomfield scoring twice late on, with a 5–0 home defeat by Horsham on Saturday 31 October.

Against Weston, Will Dawes had given the visitors the lead in the 10th or 11th minute, and Weston led at half-time. Bloomfield equalised in the 81st minute, nine minutes from time in Weston’s report, after Sam Okoye squared the ball, and he scored again at 90+6, “with the final kick of the game” according to Weston. The attendance was 533, according to the BBC. The Weston stream did not go out on DAZN, according to a Weston statement. Farnborough’s website carries a Bloomfield interview and manager Spencer Day’s reaction, both as video.

Horsham’s win was a heavy one, and the club called it “their record win in the National League South”. James Hammond scored in the 42nd minute, Greg Luer in the 45th, George Cox in the 74th, Reece Meekums in the 78th on the BBC’s account and Harvey Sparks at 90+4. The attendance was 747. The Non-League Paper described how “both teams matched each other formation-wise and cancelled each other out through the duration of a very pedestrian first half”. Horsham’s summary said Farnborough goalkeeper Liam Hall “had been called into action several times” before the first two goals.

Farnborough are 16th on 17 points from 14 games, with five wins, two draws and seven defeats. They have scored 12 league goals, the second-fewest in the division after Walton & Hersham’s ten, and conceded 25, which is the seventh-most. Wins and defeats have alternated over their last four league games, a win on Saturday 17 October, a defeat on Saturday 24 October, the win over Weston and the defeat by Horsham. They have won three of seven at home, for nine points, and two of seven away, for eight. Only the champions are promoted automatically, with second to seventh going into the play-offs and the bottom four relegated.

They are two points above 20th-placed Hemel Hempstead Town and six above Chesham United, who are 21st on 11 points and in the bottom four.

Ebbsfleet United, who lost 3–0 at Truro on Saturday, are the visitors to Cherrywood Road on Tuesday 3 November at 7.45pm. Ebbsfleet are third on 28 points and have played 13 games. Farnborough then travel to Chelmsford City, the league’s only unbeaten side, on Saturday 7 November, visit Weston in the FA Trophy second round on Saturday 14 November, host Salisbury on Saturday 21 November and go to Slough Town on Tuesday 24 November.

Truro City lead the table on 30 points, with Maidstone United on 29. Weston, beaten by Farnborough on Wednesday and then 2–0 at Dorking on Saturday, are 15th on 18 points.
