With Tuesday's friendly fixture against AFC Dunstable cancelled, promoted Bedford Town will complete their pre-season fixtures against Taunton Town on Saturday before the big kick-off away at Spalding United on 10th August.

Last Saturday the Eagles lost a nine-goal thriller 5-4 against Watford's Academy.

Max Hall set up Rico Greco for Bedford's eighth minute opener. Then Leon Lobjoit saw his shot on the turn deflect in off a defender on 22 minutes. Watford pulled one back before Hall's free kick made it 3-1 at the break.

On 56 minutes it was 3-2 and 10 minutes later all square.

Watford converted a 73rd minute penalty only to see Lojboit level from the spot two minutes later. But a minute from time Watford stole victory.

Off the field, Jonny Duggan has left Leighton Town to join the Eagles as goalkeeper coach.
