DORCHESTER Sports will hope to avenge last week’s 2-0 loss to Sturminster Newton United in the return fixture at Barnetts Field tomorrow (3pm).

Sports created few clear-cut openings against a direct Cherries side pushing for the title.

But Sports’ boss Ashley James backed his players to improve on their travels.

He told Echosport: “It will be good to go there now and hopefully put in a better performance and try and create a few more chances than what we did Saturday.

“Obviously, we’ve seen the way we play which is what we thought. We’ve got to have plans and hopefully we can implement them and stop their threats from scoring.”

Asked how Sports would go about disrupting the Cherries, James added: “You’ve got to defend well from set-pieces and (Theo Crane’s) kick is the longest I’ve ever seen from his hands and the floor.

“You now the long balls are coming from the goalkeeper, so you have to be ready and alert to it. The midfield have to pick up the second balls a lot better than what we did on Saturday.

“We need to give away a lot less free-kicks and corners. If we do give them away we’ve got to defend them better.

“If we can do that and create a few more chances, we can put them under more pressure.

“Unfortunately, on Saturday, it was far too easy from them.”

Sports welcome back Owen Peart and Josh Pratt but Todd Coombs misses out.

Meanwhile, Sports' match at Sherborne was on Wednesday postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
