Wimborne Town host Frome Town at The Wyatt Homes Stadium. The Magpies are unbeaten in three following their draw to neighbours Dorchester Town last Saturday. Midfielder Matty Burrows was on target last time out as he scored his eighth for the campaign.

They face a Frome side who are 20th, but only two points from safety whilst Tim Sills’ side remain in 15th place. This is the first meeting between the two sides since last season’s 1-1 draw at New Cuthbury in front of 2,300 people. Poole Town are on the road this Saturday as they come up against Hanwell Town.



The Dolphins come off the back of a 1-1 draw with Hungerford Town which put an end to a five-match goalless run. Joe Lea and Pat Suraci’s side will be without Keelan O’Connell through injury, but new signing Charlie Stevens is expected to be involved. When the sides met at The BlackGold Stadium in November, it was Hanwell who came away with the three points in a 2-1 win.

Poole remain in the relegation zone with 30 points after 32 matches and have ten games left to secure survival. Bournemouth Poppies are at home this weekend; they face Millbrook at Victoria Park. Poppies secured a 2-1 win over United Services Portsmouth last time out and are on a winning run of three matches.

Hamworthy Recreation play host to second placed AFC Stoneham. Kirk Grice’s side haven’t won a game since the 1st February but still remain in 8th place in the Wessex Premier Division. Christchurch are at home to Fareham Town on Saturday.

They will be looking to build on an impressive 5-1 win over Blackfield & Langley last time out. Joe Freak has already scored 17 times this season and will be looking to extend his goal-scoring streak on the weekend. Hamworthy United are also at home on the weekend as they host Lymington Town at the County Ground.

The Hammers have not played a game since the 15th February when they secured the three points in a narrow victory over Alresford Town. Dan Cann’s side sit 5th in the division, just two points inside the playoffs on 50 points after 28 matches played. There are only three matches in the Dorset Premier Division this weekend.

Chapel Gate plays host to Bournemouth Sports against Westland Sports. Three points on Saturday for Bournemouth Sports will help push them closer to the top of the division as they currently sit third. Bournemouth Electric travel to Dorchester Sports on the weekend and Swanage Town & Herston are at home to Holt United in a mid-table clash.
