Dorchester Football Club’s Senior men’s team travel to play Hungerford Town on Saturday. If the Magpies are to retain their 5th place in the Southern Premier League table and guarantee their inclusion in the league play-offs, only a win will do.
The Magpies have 72 points from 41 outings, while chasing Havant & Waterlooville, who play Wimborne at home, have 71 points from 41 matches and a better points difference of + 33, while Dorchester have a differential of +26.
There are other permutations if matches are drawn, but if Dorchester win, they will progress into the promotion play-offs.
