Bassett, who re-joined Dorchester Town for a third spell on Friday, proved to be a lively presence for the Magpies, but couldn’t stop the Dorset outfit going down 2-1 at home to Merthyr Tydfil. 

In FA Trophy action, Ezewele completed the whole game for Kidderminster Harriers who were knocked out of the competition by National League side Barrow. 

The full-back picked up a gash to the leg from a challenge in the first half, but will be fit to travel to Stalybridge in National league North on Tuesday night. 

There’s no midweek action for Dorchester meaning Bassett will next be in action on Saturday, when Craig Laird’s side travel to Leamington in Evo-Stik League Southern Premier.
