CAPTAIN Craig de Weymarn insists his men will keep their eye on the ball – despite tomorrow’s opponents Andover |boasting a less than impressive record.
Bournemouth travel to face basement boys Andover (11.30am), with the hosts having won just once in seven outings.
In contrast, de Weymarn’s side are flying high in second position as they aim to overhaul leaders Havant.
But the Bournemouth skipper said: “We’ll take the same approach as always and prepare as we have with all the other games.
“We’ll go into it knowing we have to win it, as opposed to sitting back and expecting to win.”
David Payne replaces Simon Ridley for the Chapel Gate outfit.
Bournemouth: Miller, N Park, J Park, Watkins, Metcalfe, Mills, de Weymarn, Payne, Kidner, Denham, C Ridley.
- Bashley’s title credentials will come in for a fierce examination when they host league leaders Havant.
“They’re definitely beatable,” said Bash skipper Andy Neal.
“We’ll just do the best we can and we’ve got nothing to lose.”
Star player Max Waller is unavailable after making his first class debut for Somerset, while Rich Morris (hernia) also misses out. Their replacements are Phil Morris and Matt King.
Bashley: Neal, Jones, Thurgood, P Morris, Sexton, Baker, Bailiff, R Grierson, Friedman, Nash, King.
- Lowly New Milton travel to take on fellow Division Two strugglers Hambledon.
Dave Wheeler returns for Ryan Beck’s side, with Tom Prodomo and Ben Neal also coming in, while James Whitehurst, Kristian Locke and Pete Wakefield make way.
New Milton: R Beck, L Beck, Gargaro, Van der Walt, Neal, Wheeler, Loader, Adlem, Linge, Freeman, Prodomo.
