Non-league football continues across Dorset during international break

Whilst the international break is halting lots of club football across the country, there are plenty of local non-league fixtures to look out for.

At the weekend, FA Cup heroes Wimborne Town are back on the knock-out trail as they face Uxbridge in the FA Trophy second round proper on Saturday November 14.

Wimborne are coming off a historic result against League 2 opposition, Crawley Town, where they reached the 2nd round of the FA Cup for the first time in the club’s history.

Wimborne midfielder Seung-Woo Yang opened the scoring with a stunning strike with his right foot. Cameron Munn then secured FA Cup glory in the 79th minute, creating a monumental result for the Magpies.

Uxbridge currently sit at the top of the Southern Premier Division, with 33 points after 15 games played.

The Wessex Football League has a Saturday full of fixtures to also look out for.

Before then, Bournemouth Poppies are playing Brockenhurst away in the Premier division tomorrow night (Tuesday November 10).

The Poppies are desperately looking for a victory, sitting rock bottom of the table with 18 games played.

They are looking to bounce back after drawing 1-1 to Petersfield Town last Saturday.

Harry Smith put the Poppies in front, but they conceded a 96th minute equaliser from Petersfield’s George Bowerman.

On Saturday, Brockenhurst travel to Baffins Milton Rovers while Poppies play against Andover New Street at home, Victoria Park.

Christchurch FC are playing against the Bemerton Heath Harlequins tomorrow (Tuesday), hoping to make it two wins on the bounce after their 3-2 victory against top of the league Fareham Town.

Bashley FC face Bemerton Heath Harlequins, after a resounding home victory against Sherborne Town, winning 3-1.

Sherborne went 1-0 up in the 13th minute through Alex Murphy, but Bashley’s Joe Freak equalised just at the end of the first half.

Bashley then went 2-1 up in the 60th minute through a penalty by Jamie Johnston, and a 90th minute dagger from Harry Baker to seal the win.

Bashley who sit fourth in the table are reaching for first place, whilst the Harlequins are trying to achieve safety from the drop as they sit 19th.

Saturday’s other Wessex League Premier Division fixtures are:

East Cowes Victoria Athletic v Sherborne Town

Fareham Town v Hamworthy Recreation

Hamble Club v Christchurch

Hythe and Dibden v Cowes Sports

Laverstock and Ford v Petersfield Town

Millbrook v Downton
