DORCHESTER Sports face a “massive week” at Westland Sports, a venue boss Ashley James describes as “one of the toughest places to go in the DPL”.

His side travel to Alvington in tenth place, a sight rarely seen in recent seasons, while Westland occupy 12th spot.

With both teams going through a transitional phase after a successful period challenging near the top of the Dorset Premier League, James has enough battle scars to avoid complacency against the Yeovil-based side.

He told Echosport: “It's probably one of the toughest places to go in the DPL, so it’s a massive week for us.

“We’re there, then away to Merley and then away to Bournemouth Sports. This week can determine our season, so it’s a big three games.

“There’s no better place to kick-start your season than at Westland and getting a win.”

Dorchester Sports have a fully-fit squad as Greg Taylor and Carl Edwards come in.
