Balti Sports host Blandford in the Dorset Premier League on Saturday (3pm).

The Weymouth club will be looking for their first win of the new season after drawing to Cobham Sports and a humbling 5-0 defeat to Dorchester Sports in the week. 

Balti's new joint manager Rob Marquis has said his side 'will persevere' with what they are trying to do after lots of new faces joined the squad in the summer.

Blandford will be a tough test for the young side having beaten Wimborne 3-1 and drawn with Holt United so far.

Speaking ahead of the tie to Echosport Marquis said: "They are normally quite strong and we will have a go - we don't fear anyone.

"On Saturday we will have a go, we don't expect to lose but whatever comes comes. 

"We could do with a goal but we will give it our best shot and fingers crossed."

Marquis confirmed that Finley Jarvis and Devon Fry will be unavailable for the game but he has plenty 'good replacements' to come in.

Kick off at Weymouth College Sports Centre is at 3pm on Saturday, August 17.
