BOURNEMOUTH Lions head into tomorrow's match with Oxford Harlequins at Chapel Gate looking to extend their impressive recent form and climb the South West One table.

Lions are still languishing four places above the foot of the table, and will have to take on Harlequins, who are three places above their opponents, without inspirational captain Dan Cawley who is unavailable.

But with six victories in their last seven matches in all competitions, Lions will want to continue to gather momentum with another triumph.

Head coach David Dunn is confident his side can dispose of Harlequins, and is heartened by Lions' results against teams around them in the division.

He said: We've beaten all the sides near us this year and we believe that we can get the right result on Saturday.

We didn't play well against them (Harlequins) in the away match before Christmas and lost by 11 points, and the whole team was very disappointed to get beaten.'' Lions welcome new signing Callum Forrest, who has international experience with Scotland Under-19s into the squad and he could slot into the starting XV for his first-team debut.

Back-row forward Chris Hughes will captain Bournemouth in the absence of Cawley, but Jayson Kenny is also unavailable.

Lions: (from) Bruce, Burns, Chislett, Crombie, D Davies, Flynn, Forrest, Frost, Gray, Hardcastle, Hughes, Kiely, Manning, Payne, Ramsey, Seward, Siaki, Ulu.

SWANS HAVE SCORE TO SETTLE

SWANAGE and Wareham will be gunning for revenge and looking to close the gap on leaders Chippenham when lowly Marlow visit tomorrow.

Swans' only defeat of the season came embarrassingly away at Marlow, who sit bottom having recorded only two victories in South West Two East.

But with home advantage, and the humbling result behind them, Swans should be confident in defeating their beleaguered opponents.

Swans: (from) Jones, R Elford, Andrews, Burgess, Penney, Warren, Steeden, Harwood, Beaves, Harris, Parish, P Graves, Grove, McKeown, D Elford, Sheldrake, M Elford, S Andrews.

LEADERS AT LEIGH PARK

MID-TABLE Wimborne will be out to cause an upset when they welcome Southern Counties South leaders Trowbridge to Leigh Park.

It's been an inconsistent year, results wise for Wimborne, who have recorded seven victories, but suffered five defeats in 12 matches.

But they'll be looking to end their fluctuating season with victory over the league leaders, who defeated Wimborne 37-o in the reverse fixture.

Wimborne: (from) Tinsdale, Murphy, Unwin, Jordan, Davies, Morgan, O' Bryan, Davey, Llewellyn, Roberts, Griffin, Huggins, Chapman, Beevers, C Lynch, Lennon, R Lynch, Gee.
