Crowning moment for prize Chickens?
GOING FOR GLORY: Josh Evans will be looking to help the Chickens to the title tomorrow
GOING FOR GLORY: Josh Evans will be looking to help the Chickens to the title tomorrow

CHICKERELL United will be crowned Dorset Senior League champions tomorrow if they can beat Bourne-mouth University at Wey-mouth College (3pm).

With second-placed Easton United already out of the hunt, the third-placed Students will be out of the title equation if they fail to win.

Wareham Rangers, in fourth, have only a remote chance of upsetting the unbeaten league leaders.

With four games to go Chickens' boss Dave Drage is eager to secure the league crown at the earliest opportunity.

He said: "If things go well it will be done and dusted. We've got one hand on the title but we haven't quite got the other one on it yet, fingers crossed though, it will happen for us against Bournemouth.

"The lads know what they have got to do, we have four games left and we need one win, the sooner we can wrap it up the better.

"We're all really looking forward to it, we've had good training sessions this week and the boys are up for the game.

"Hopefully there will be a few extra supporters there to cheer us on and help us get the right result, it's a big weekend for us."

United's 16-game winning run came to an end last Saturday after they could only draw at Tintinhull - where the hosts parked a bus in front of their goal - but Drage believes tomorrow's opposition will be more suited his side's style of play.

He added: "We simply couldn't break Tintinhull down last week but Bournemouth Uni are a more attacking side so hopefully that will make it easier for us to play our normal game. We've got everyone fit and available so we're at full strength. Everyone wants to play but unfortunately some people will be upset because that's the way it goes."
