BALTI Sports are looking to end a run of exactly six weeks without a win when they host Bournemouth Sports at Cranford Avenue tomorrow (3pm).
Marco Nott’s men have gone three heavy defeats and a goalless draw since earning a home walkover against Jewson Dorset Premier League bottom side Shaftesbury Town Reserves.
After holding Hamworthy United Reserves away, Balti were hammered 9-0 by Blandford United, thrashed 6-1 by Swanage and then lost 4-0 to title contenders Holt.
In the latter game, which put the Bulls nine points off leaders Sturminster Newton with four matches in hand, Balti managed to hold firm for 25 minutes.

However, large spells of Holt possession eventually told and the hosts took the lead when Scott Bungay scored a scrappy goal from close-range.
Balti keeper Andy Nott made a brave save to keep out Bungay but could do nothing to deny the Holt hotshot before the break when he finished Corey Elwick’s square pass.
Balti cleared an Emil Jakobsen effort off the line in the second half but they were powerless to prevent 3-0 when Kyle John-Clement headed Connor Bent’s cross home.
Jack Drummond saw Balti’s best chance come and go when he burst through on goal, only to be denied by a fabulous late challenge from Dan Bradford.
And Holt duly made it 4-0 when George Lane’s crisp low shot found the bottom corner.
Balti are now 12th in the league, with Holt in second.
Balti: A Nott, Curran, Harvey, Roberts, Butcher, Jarvis, Nichols, Chambers, Spearing, Andrews, Drummond.
