TROWBRIDGE boss Neil Kirkpatrick has dismissed speculation linking him with a move to Melksham Town over the summer.

Although Lee Burns has been given the manager's job at The Conigre the rumour mill has been rife with suggestions the Trowbridge chief is Melksham's long-term choice.

Kirkpatrick said: "It's very flattering, but it hasn't even crossed my mind to be honest. We want to see what's happening with our ground and we've got a job to finish."

Trowbridge take on midtable Ross Town at home with defender Adam Glover likely to start the match after a strong performance against Devizes. Glover came off the bench in that game, which gave Kirkpatrick the first chance to assess him in a pressure situation and he liked what he saw.

Having suffered narrow cup losses against higher league opposition in their last two games, Trowbridge are desperate to return to winning ways tomorrow.

Kirkpatrick: "They beat us at their place and they've got a good defensive record. We should've won the game and perhaps this is a chance for a bit of revenge."

The Bees should be at pretty much full strength for the game as they bid to close the gap on leaders Tytherington Rocks. Trowbridge are just three points behind in second place and have title aspirations.

Kirkpatrick said: "Realistically there's no pressure on us. We should be just stabilising this year, but when you get that far you want to go all the way. At this point I'd settle for a top three position, but obviously I'd love the title."
