BRIDPORT will be looking to carry their improved league form into cup action in North Dorset tonight.
They go to Dorset Combination League leaders Shaftesbury for a third-round Dorset Senior Cup match.
The Bees have doubts about midfield player Richard Middleton, who limped out of Saturday's win against Bristol Manor Farm with a knee injury.
There are also question marks over the availability of centre-back Neil Copeland and young wing back Dan Taylor.
Recent signings Darren Grabham and Adam Watson are added to the squad.
Bridport were beaten at the same stage of the competition last year by Shaftesbury's neighbours Gillingham Town and will be anxious to avoid going out to Combination League opponents again.
Player-manager Derek Walkey said: "Our priority is to stay in the cup. It is not a very nice place to have to go and play but, of course, they will be happy to play there. They will be up for it, you cannot expect anything else."
Bridport (from): Peters; Pashen, Gardner, Cadman, Copeland, J Gisborne, Taylor, Middleton, S Gale, Hitchcock, T John, White, Walkey, Grabham, Watson. Kick-off 7.30pm.
