Bassett, who returned to the Dorset club this week after returning from international duty, went straight back into the starting eleven whilst Lea’s paperwork was completed in time for the 18-year-old to be a part of the matchday squad. 

In a tight affair, Bassett completed 90 minutes for the Mapgies whilst Lea was introduced with a little over 20 minutes remaining to make his debut. 

Despite a late goal from Dorchester, they were unable to overturn a 2-0 deficit and slumped to a narrow defeat in Bedfordshire.
