Rovers' hopes of dumping higher division neighbours Moneyfields out of the Portsmouth Senior Cup were ended with a 5-0 home caning on Tuesday.

Now joint bosses Pete Stiles and Matt Powell must prepare their squad for tomorrow's Premier League trip to table-topping Stoneham.

Baffins are unbeaten in their last 11 ninth tier fixtures, since losing 2-0 at home to second-placed Petersfield on August 16.

But a trip to Stoneham has been a graveyard for most Wessex League clubs in recent years.
