Pleasure to be here for Dorchester’s first home game of the 2025/26 season, as they welcome Tiverton to the Avenue.
Magpies HQ has been something of a fortress in the last 12 months, with Dorchester suffering only two losses.

Dorchester have earned their play-off place and must now beat 2nd-placed AFC Totton away to go within one victory of promotion to the National League South.
Honours even between the sides this season, with one win apiece and a draw. It's going to be tight...

I'm here at Bulpit Lane where Dorchester need a victory over Hungerford to guarantee a Southern League play-off spot.
With Havant only one point behind them, the Magpies must match their result to keep the all-important 5th place.

It's a sun-kissed Avenue for the Dorset derby between Dorchester and Poole Town - and it's a momentous game.
Dorch need a win to maintain their play-off crusade and could even seal 5th place if they win and Havant drop points, while Poole could seal safety.

Arrived at Badgers Hill as Dorchester look for a victory to sustain 5th place and their play-off push.
I'll be with the Magpies for their remaining games, play-offs or not, for the Dorset Echo.
Today they face a Frome Town side battling against relegation - no easy task!
