BOURNEMOUTH will look to make up ground on the top half in National Three South West when they travel to nearest rivals Bracknell on Saturday (3pm).

Eighth-placed Lions trail their opponents by six points in the league ahead of the trip to Lily Hill Park.

Full-back or wing Mike Pope comes into contention after re-joining on loan from Cornish Pirates, while newcomer Grant Hancox is expected to start after an impressive debut against Chard last weekend. 

Tim Collier may return from injury but prop Josh Terry and Matt Warwick are unavailable.
