Mere are actually from Wiltshire, but apart from a brief spell playing in their own county, they have competed in the Dorset League system since the 1970’s and having reached the Dorset Premier League, are now playing at their highest ever level.

Todays game was 5th v 2nd in the league table. Hamworthy were always on top and were very good on the break. A red card for the visitors, with a couple of minutes left, came too late to make any difference to the outcome, although Mere also then had a man sent off in stoppage time.

Todays visit completes the Dorset Premier League for me.

The early kick off here gave another opportunity of a double. There was a bit of very light drizzle for parts of the first half, but it was never going to be a problem with the pitch in immaculate condition. Having let what looked to be a comfortable two goal lead slip, Kings could have won it in the last minute when a 25 yard effort hit the inside of the post/crossbar and somehow failed to go in.
