MARTIN Miller admits the next two matches will be make-or-break for Bournemouth’s battle to avoid bottom spot in the Premier Division.

The Lions will look to roar against an out-of-sorts Totton & Eling outfit (1pm) who shifted three key players across to their seconds ahead of last week’s drubbing at Bashley.

And with Miller’s men set for a crunch clash with nearest rivals St Cross Symondians next weekend, the Chapel Gate skipper is looking for some much-needed momentum as their tumultuous season draws to a close.

Bournemouth’s captain said: “The St Cross game will be pivotal because it is a true 20-pointer and clearly it would help going into that match having beaten Totton.

“I noticed that they (Totton) fielded a weakened side against Bashley but they have some dangerous one day players.

“It will be a tough match whoever they send. We can only play who is in front of us and we just need to ensure that we are on our game.”

Bournemouth are boosted by the availability of quintet Jake Hurley, Matt Mixer, Gurpreet Singh, Jonny Coombs and Curtis Watton.

Bournemouth: (from) Keath, Hand, Miller, Rogers, Allum, Hurley, Watton, Anderson, Singh G, Matthews, Coombs J, Wainwright, Choudhry, Mixer.

Lymington are at full strength for their trip to champions-elect South Wilts (1pm). Captain Ali Jaffer makes one change to his side with Darren Cowley replacing Damien Edwards.

Jaffer told the Daily Echo: “The season has been a bit up and down and hasn’t quite gone the way we expected it to, but now we have our strongest side available we’re looking forward to playing some good cricket.”

Lymington: (from) Treagus, Henry, Grierson, Jaffer, Ambrose, Metcalfe, Cowley, Beetham, Ellis, Freeman, Kidner.

Elsewhere, Bashley also make a single switch as they prepare to host St Cross at the BCG (1pm). Aussie-born Sean Terry replaces Josh Digby at the top of the batting order.

Bashley: (from) Terry, Thurgood, Baker, Gilmour, Morris, Friedman, Ridley, Watkins, Neal, Grierson, Nash.

Nick Gargaro replaces Dan Loader in New Milton’s line-up ahead of their Division One clash with Fawley (1pm).

New Milton: (from) N Park, House, J Park, Edwards, R Beck, L Beck, Gargaro, Elliott, T Prodomo, Watts, Staniford.
