ON-LOAN hooker Rob Elloway will be hoping for more game time as Bournemouth look to kick-start their season at home to Barnstaple on Saturday (2.30pm).

The Cornish Pirates player, who has been recovering |from a shoulder injury, was limited to a 40-minute appearance on his Lions’ debut in last weekend’s National Three South defeat at Exmouth.

But having got through that match unscathed, Elloway could be in for a lengthier stint at Chapel Gate as backmarkers Bournemouth seek their first win of the season.

In Southern Counties South, Wimborne entertain Dorchester, while Swanage & Wareham are at home to Midsomer Norton.

There are derby dates in Dorset & Wilts One South with Bournemouth II hosting Oakmeadians and early-leaders Dorset Dockers travelling to Blandford.
