HORNDEAN manager Michael Birmingham is expecting a tough test when his side travel to Christchurch tomorrow (Saturday).

The Deans have enjoyed an excellent season so far and sit in third place in the Sydenhams Wessex League Premier Division table.

Christchurch are struggling down in 17th position, but Horndean’s boss is expecting a tough encounter for his side.

Birmingham said: “Christchurch will be another difficult game for us away from home.

“They are a very big, physical side, and although they were well beaten at Portland they’re still a decent side.”
