Excellent Team Dorset win to stay in top three?
In the fifth (and final) Southern League match for 2018, Team Dorset u17s and Seniors combined to beat the hosts Newquay and Par AC at Par on Aug 18th. From confirmed results, TD 229 to N/P 210 (Exeter 125, Andover 18).
Division 3 SW has 16 teams. In each of the 5 matches, TD competed against 3 other teams in a type of ‘round robin’. The winner of each match earns 4 League points. The winner of each event gains 4 match points, etc.
Before this final round of matches, Salisbury and Brighton were the top two with 16/15 League points. By winning each of their final matches, they have finished with 20/19 League points and finish as top two. By winning at Par, TD have 17 League points and still lie 3rd. WADAC also had 13 League points, finished 3rd in their final match and have 15 League points. Finally, Swindon had 13 League points but finished second in their final match, ending with 16 League points, thus 4th overall! This repeats our excellent 2017 achievement!

Team Dorset in YDL again in season 2019!
This decision was put out for consideration by the three Team Dorset clubs. The unanimous consensus was to continue for next year and relevant application has been made to YDL. We wait to see the structure of the resulting Upper (UAG) and Lower (LAG) Divisions. It appears, after promotion and relegation are applied, that BAC/NFJ will be in both ours!
