A busy afternoon of Dorset Premier League action produced 34 goals across seven league fixtures and one League Cup tie, with significant movement at the top end of the table.

LEAGUE
Bournemouth Electric are the day’s big movers, climbing to the summit after a commanding 7–0 win away at Sherborne Town Reserves. A hat‑trick from Kareem Soliman led the scoring, supported by goals from Lewis Miles, Joseph Flachi, Dillon Kind, and Nasim Meddah. Just behind them, Cobham Sports remain in second place following a 4–2 victory over Hamworthy United Reserves at the County Ground. The hosts struck through James Cherrett and Brad Wells, but Cobham’s attacking edge proved decisive with goals from Jack Burton, Asa Phillips (2), and Jude Stevenson. Swanage Town & Herston move into third after a 3–1 win at Days Park. Will Pryor netted twice, with Curtis Young also on target, while Raymond John‑Kidd replied for Wimborne Town Reserves. A dramatic finish at the Avenue saw Dorchester Sports rise to fourth with a 2–1 win over Holt United. Holt led through Connor Doe, before Brin Doyle levelled early in the second half. Even after a late red card for Dylan Ellis, Sports found a stoppage‑time winner courtesy of Noah House. Bournemouth Sports returned from North Dorset with all three points after a 2–1 win at Gillingham Town. James Bergin scored twice in the first half, with Bradlee Shephard reducing the deficit after the break. At Mere, the hosts celebrated their first home match — and first win — of the season with a 3–0 success over Verwood Town, thanks to goals from Harry Browne, Danny Smith, and Liam Hosmer. The Ridgeway derby delivered its usual intensity at the Camp & Satherley, with Balti Sports edging Portland United Reserves 3–2. Taylor Brown struck twice and Callum Stanton added another for Balti, while Preston Hepburn (penalty) and Cory Ray kept Portland in the contest.

LEAGUE CUP
Westland Sports progressed to Round Two after overturning a half‑time deficit to beat Wareham Rangers 2–1 at Alvington. James Cass had given Rangers the interval lead, but second‑half goals from Phil Ormrod and Lucas Cawley completed the turnaround for the hosts.
