CALNE boss Kelvin Highmore has described Saturday's home match against Dawlish as a must win encounter.

Dawlish are in fourth spot and on equal points with Calne despite playing three games more.

Highmore said: "This is a massive game for us and we are hoping to continue our unbeaten run."

Calne have not been defeated since October's visit of Radstock but need a win to keep in touch with the Screwfix League leaders.

Willand Rovers and Radstock, who battled to a 0-0 draw on Saturday, are three points ahead of Calne but have played a handful of games more.

"We are committed to winning the game but we know it will be a tough task."

If Calne want to take the three points they will have to get past experienced defender Chris Myers. Myers has played for Dawlish since leaving League side Torquay United.

"We know all about Chris, he is a great defender and will try and dictate the game."

Highmore was disappointed Saturday's match against Elmore was called off as he wanted to go into the Dawlish game off the back of a victory.

He feels the visit of Dawlish is even more important as four key players will be missing for the following weeks game at Ilfracombe.

Brothers Matt and Ryan Pratley, along with Danny Jones and Eddie Drury, are away on a skiing holiday while defender Steve Casey is also unavailable and inspirational centre back Darren Smart is still out injured.

Highmore said: "We have depth in our squad and can cope up front and in midfield. But we will need to do some reshuffling in defence."
