It’s FA Trophy 3rd round day on Saturday and Weymouth’s Football Club’s Senior Men’s squad travel to the Silver Jubilee Park to lock horns with Southern Premier League club Hendon. 

The Dons are currently in 11^th place in the league table so with no National League South pressure the Terras must start this one as favourites to go into the bag for next week’s 4^th round draw. 

Dorchester are in Southern Premier League action on Saturday when they travel into Wiltshire to play Swindon Supermarine. 

In the Wessex League Portland United entertain Hythe & Dibden at Grove Corner. 

The Blues are currently 11 league places above their guests who are just one place off the bottom of the table so Portland manager Kyle Critchell’s men must start this game in a confident mood. 

The Blues Star Striker Greg Borthwick must fancy his chances of scoring against Hythe & Dibden on Saturday.

Bridport were scheduled to play Elburton Villa at St Mary’s in a Southwest Peninsular League East fixture but the game has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

However the match is very much in doubt due to the flooding that has engulfed club during the week.
