Chickerell United will be looking to bounce back from defeat when they host Handley Sports this Saturday in Dorset Football League Division Four (2pm).
The Chickens come in to the game sat fifth in the table having lost their last game to league leaders Poole Town Youth Dolphins.
It was their first defeat in five games which had seen them rise up the table and in to promotion contention whilst Handley won their first game of the season last weekend winning 4-3 against Wyke Regis.
Looking ahead to the game, Chickerell manager Justin Faulkner, said: "I think Handley will be buoyant after their win last time out.
"They had quite a few players making their debut, so it looks like they have recruited which can always happen at this level.
"As always though we will look after ourselves and make sure we are prepared as we can be, we are still building ourselves.
"We didn't play well last week but matched the league leaders for most of the game and that defeat hasn't dented our confidence too much.
"The players, staff and myself are eager to put that behind us and get back to where we were before that game, being the next game this represents the chance to do that.
"On a whole we have to be satisfied with how the season is going so far, I do think there is more to come from us which will be exciting and there is a growing interest around the club from the local community which is pleasing to see."
