WEYMOUTH Sports can get off the bottom of the Elite Teamwear Dorset Premier League tomorrow.

Adie Chance's side face second from bottom Swanage Town and Herston at Cranford Avenue and the Sporties boss admits: "Basement battles don't come much bigger than this one."

"It's vital we don't lose," said Chance whose side has just one

victory to their credit all season. "We're only a point behind them going into the game and we have two games in hand so a win would give us a great chance of leaving them adrift at the bottom.

"Besides we owe them one because they mugged us up at Swanage early in the season. We were winning 1-0 and then let them pinch a draw with the last kick of the game."

Because Sports train on a Wednesday, Chance did not get the opportunity to check up on Swanage when they were hammered 8-0 at Bridport in the Dorset Senior Cup quarter-final.

"But to be honest I'm not too worried about checking on them," he said. "I have enough to worry about with my lads."

Fortunately Chance's worries are minimal ahead of the big relegation clash with only the fitness of Steve Alcock and Tom Steadman giving any cause for concern.

"Steve has been struggling with a knee injury and Tom took a knock in training but I am hopeful that both of them will be fit," said Chance. "That would leave me with pretty much a full strength squad and I am also hoping that Dave Kitely might help me out by allowing Ryan Hill from his Terras reserve squad to have a game with us."

Sports: Marquis, Forbes, Harvie, Alcock, Kelly, Garbett, Stone, Steadman, Windust, Ritchie, Read, Reeson, Walsh, Summers, Horton, Chance, Hill.
