HEAD coach Paul Harding firmly believes Weymouth & Portland can catch Dorset & Wilts Two South leaders Yeovil – but he has warned his players not to take their eyes off New Milton Seconds this weekend.
Harding’s men go to Hampshire tomorrow (2.15pm) seven points behind Yeovil, though they do have a game in hand.
But New Milton are only four points adrift of the Monmouth Avenue outfit and have won six of their last seven games.
“I still think we can catch Yeovil,” said Harding. “We have a game in hand and still have to play them at home, however, I have told the lads to forget Yeovil for now and focus on New Milton, which is a key game.
“They are on a roll at present and will provide us with very tough opposition.”
George Carter and Sean Murphy are both ruled out with hamstring and knee problems.
Joe Gibson comes in for Carter and Josh Cameron replaces Murphy, lock Jonny Mason returns and Dan Hayne is in for injured centre Joel Wilson.
In Southern Counties South, Dorchester are in the unusual position of going for a league double tomorrow when they travel to Bradford-on-Avon (2.15pm).
Swanage & Wareham go to Trowbridge in South West One East (2.15pm), while back in Two South, Dorchester Seconds host Yeovil, Puddletown visit North Dorset Thirds and Bridport are away to Poole.
