THE weekend is upon us and there is plenty of non-league football on offer.
Poole Town are back at home on Saturday as they host Gosport Borough.
The Dolphins will be looking to bounce back to winning way following the disappointing 3-1 defeat to Tiverton Town.
Steve Tully’s side have recently strengthened their ranks through the signing of winger Dario De Luca who opened his goal-scoring account in the defeat to Tiverton.
Defender Harry Thomas is set to return to action following the completion of his one game suspension.
Poole currently sit 9th in the league and are only three points off the playoff places.
The game will get underway at The BlackGold Stadium at 3pm with Poole using the match as an opportunity to commemorate those who lost their lives serving their country for Remembrance Day.
Looking ahead to the game, Tully said: “It’s another tough game, but we know that every game in this league will be tough week in week out.”
Wimborne Town are also in action this weekend as they face Chertsey Town at The Wyatt Homes Stadium.
It’s a quick turnaround for the Magpies following the 2-1 defeat on the road to Plymouth Parwkay midweek.
Tim Sills’ side are currently 11th, whilst the visitors Chertsey sit in 13th place, albeit with two games in hand over the Magpies.
A handful of players still on the injury-list such as Ross Flitney, Drew Eccott-Young and Jack Lovell who will all be out of action.
Despite his sending off on Tuesday, midfielder Cam Munn will be available for selection for Saturday’s game.
With both of these sides being newly promoted to step three, it is set up to be a thoroughly entertaining game.
Hamworthy United are on the road this weekend as they face New Milton on Saturday.
The Hammers will be looking to continue their fantastic form having won all of their last five matches.
They come off the back of an improbable 4-3 comeback in which Hamworthy United were 3-0 down after 30 minutes but valiantly fought back to triumph over Amesbury Town.
Striker Bailey Rowe was on the scoresheet once again last weekend which takes his tally up to 16 for the season making him the second top scorer in the division.
Dan Cann’s side are comfortably in the playoffs sitting 5th but will be looking to go the extra step and break into the title race.
In the Dorset Premier League this weekend, Swanage Town & Herston travel to Westland Sports.
Wimborne Town Reserves make the trip to Holt United and Hamworthy United Reserves host Blandford United.
With plenty of non-league action on offer this weekend, it’s a great opportunity to support your local side.
