Dorchester Sports manager Ashley James was left 'shocked' after his team's first defeat of the season. 

The Sports boss was also 'disappointed' in the manner in which his team conceded four goals against Bournemouth Sports and admitted that the 'better team' had won on the day. 

James' side came into the match having won their opening five games of the campaign sitting top of the Dorset Premier League table but were brought back down to earth after the defeat.

Speaking to Echosport after the game, he said: "It is really disappointing after the start to the season we have made.

"We got back to 1-1 but the goals we conceded were poor on our part.

"Our defense has been good and it was such a shock but we did not create enough either and on the day the best side won on the day.

"We were on top in spells but we conceded silly goals when we were on top and it was hard to get back in the game and it gave us no chance.

"They deserved the win and that is pretty much how it is.

"It is a shock to the system as we did not see it coming but we have to take it and move on."
