With league games scheduled for each of the next three Tuesdays, we felt that we could not do justice to our ambitions in the league if we postponed a league fixture which would have been essential had we stayed in the Dorset Senior Cup.
We could have fielded an academy side but as we know from past experience this would not have been acceptable to DCFA.
We regret the inconvenience and disappointment, but our league ambitions must remain our priority.
This has not been done without a huge amount of thought and discussion among both the board and the club management.
