Double Easter Weekend for Whites

Salisbury face two tricky fixtures over the Easter Weekend as the look to get back to winning ways.

The club have slipped to third in the table after losing last weekend, with Gosport now sitting in pole position in the playoff positions.

Finishing second gives home advantage in the playoff games.

Up first on Saturday is a trip to the north of the county and a game against Swindon Supermarine.

Supermarine have been on an inconsistent run lately with two wins, two losses and two draws in their last six matches.

Last time out, they travelled to Hayes and Yeading, coming away with a point after a 2-2 draw.

Then, on Easter Monday, Salisbury welcomes Basingstoke Town the Ray Mac for what will be a real test.

Basingstoke are currently one of the form sides in the league, they have taken 13 points from a possible 18 in their last six games, a haul only bettered by Dorchester Town.

In their last game, they drew 1-1 with run-away league leaders Chesham United.

Salisbury have been going through a tricky spell themselves, losing away at Dorchester in their last fixture. A controversial goal separating the two sides.

Salisbury bolstered their squad this week with the signing of experienced Sholing goalkeeper Ryan Gosney.

Brian Dutton said, “I’m delighted to sign Ryan Gosney. He is firstly a wonderful goalkeeper and also a player with lots of non-league experience which is going to be vital for our young, inexperienced side as we reach the climax of our season.

“We have been bereft of quality goalkeeper depth this season, and crucially, we now have excellent keepers in Alex Rutter, Ryan Gosney (and Theo Lewis) for the run-in.”
