Balanced ball game between Dorking Wanderers and Wealdstone expected

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Vanarama National League South match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Oxford City, was also a home game here at Meadowbank Dorking. The away team is better rested. That game was an away game at Oxford City, so at least Dorking Wanderers are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Wealdstone have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
