Tough test at Dorking Wanderers for The Whites

Friday, 18 October 2024 05:55

Salisbury travel to Surrey this weekend to take on Dorking Wanderers in the Vanarama National League South.

Salisbury come in to the game three unbeaten in the league with the 2-2 draw at home against Hornchurch on Saturday the latest points picked up by Brian Dutton’s side.

Before that, the Whites won two on the spin for the first time this season, overcoming Chippenham 3-2 in the Wiltshire derby before picking up the first win on the road in the league away at St Albans in a 4-3 win.

Salisbury have scored 9 goals in those three games, with the goals coming from around the team, but it’s Josh Hedges who has hit the back of the net in all of those games having scored four in his last four matches.

Callum Hart said ahead of the Dorking game, “They are a high quality team, they have great individuals down there. We are in good form as well, we have won two and drawn one in our last three. We are in good nick ourselves and have a group of talented players ourselves.”

Dorking as also unbeaten in their last three games, winning their last two. In the last game they beat Hemel Hempstead 3-2 at Meadowbank.

Goals from Charlie Carter, Alfie Rutherford and top scorer Jason Prior were enough to see Wanderers pick up all three points, despite a late fight back from Hemel.

In the match before, they overcame Hornchurch 3-1, and a draw against Weston-super-Mare means they have picked up seven points from their last three games.

Prior to that Wanderers had spell where they won one game in six after winning their opening two fixtures. They have, however, only failed to score in one league game this season – that was away at Torquay United.
