DORCHESTER lock horns with Trowbridge Seconds at Surcouf Park in their Counties One Tribute Southern South clash tomorrow (2.30pm).
The visitors sit 11th in the table to Dorchester’s sixth, but coach Josh Ovey knows his side will need to be on their mettle again to claim another home win.
Ovey has had a tough week with selection, having well over 40 players training in sub-zero temperatures all wanting a starting shirt in both teams for the league action this weekend.
As a group this shows the strength and depth in the playing squad for the club, a great position to be in at this stage of the season, showcasing home-grown talent.

Elsewhere, the county town’s A team entertain Salisbury Thirds in their final Counties Three Tribute Dorset & Wilts South league fixture of the season (2.30pm).
With a number of experienced heads in the line-up, Chris Elliott, Scott Clarke, and Laurence Burch all start in the pack with Jamie Morgan, Jez Beale and Max Baggley in the back line.
