MARCO Nott expressed his respect for tomorrow’s opposition in Swanage Town & Herston, as Balti get set to host the Swans at Weymouth College (2pm).

Balti, who currently top the league table by six points, overcame the Swans 4-2 at Day’s Park back in September, with Ricky Lane and Danny Andrews both netting doubles.

But the Sports manager was impressed with the Swans and is expecting a tough challenge in the return fixture this weekend.

Asked about Swanage in the build-up to the contest, Nott told Echosport: “We beat them at their place but it is going to be a really hard game.

“Fingers crossed we can put in a good performance and get the three points.

“They are probably the best team we have played this season.”

Nott also revealed Josh Burton and goalkeeper Andy Nott will miss tomorrow’s showdown with the Swans.

The latter picked up a hamstring injury after 30 minutes at Gillingham last time out.

“We are hoping Clinton Coltart will go in goal,“ he added.

“He is a very good goalkeeper, so it’s good that we have that back up.”

Elsewhere in the division, Bridport Reserves travel to Blandford United looking for their eighth league win of the season.

Dorchester Sports make the trip to Merley Cobham Sports (both 2pm).
