Sturminster Newton United slipped to a second successive defeat at Upwey and Broadwey this weekend.
A goal mid way through the first half put the home side ahead, but it could have been very different. In the third minute, midfielder Dan Carter nearly gave the Cherries the lead when his header from a corner just went past the far post.
Despite stepping their game up i the second period, the Cherries couldn't find the finish they needed. Steve Moore hit the post with a free-kick, Wayne Moussalli had a good chance and Rob Froud had a header cleared off the line.
SNUFC: Robson, Hedges (C Frear), W Gould (Revell), Moore, Froud, Sweatman, Budd (c), Carter, Moussalli, S Frear, Stockley (Danoris).
