DORCHESTER Sports have set their stall out to improve in the final third against Swanage Town & Herston tomorrow at the Avenue Stadium (3pm).
Sports have gone two games without scoring and face a Swans side gunning for promotion into Step 6.
This is the first meeting of the sides since a rare abandonment for a broken goalpost earlier in the season.
Sports’ boss Ash James told Echosport: “We tried to play them but the game got called off after 12 minutes.
“We’ve got to play them twice and they’re going to be a team in and around us.

"Whoever wins the two games, will finish above one another. Being at home we need to take advantage.”
On the abandonment of the previous fixture, James said: “Their centre-back cleared one off the line and snapped the goalpost, so it was pretty bizarre!”
Sports are also looking to improve on a lacklustre pair of defeats to title contenders Sturminster Newton, who beat the county town side 4-0 and 2-0.
James added: “It’s not like us, really. The most disappointing thing is that we didn’t create anything. If we created good chances and made Theo Crane make some good saves, I don’t think we’d be too downhearted.
“But the fact that we didn’t really make him make one good save in the two games is a bit alarming. We have to be a lot better in the final third and I’m sure we will be.”
Todd Coombs, Rich Sands, Josh Pratt and Matt Groves all return but Ash Smith and Dan Magee miss out.
