Young Magpies finish friendlies with a win

by James Tizzard


Trevor Senior and Phil Basford's under-18 side finished off their pre-season campaign with a well-deserved 2-0 victory at Sturminster Newton Reserves last night.

Luke Braund, making his first appearance in a Magpies' shirt, opened the scoring after 25 minutes when he latched on to a header from Darren Watts on the edge of the area and the striker gave goalkeeper Richard Young no chance.

Full-back Alan Hill doubled the Magpies' advantage a minute into the second half, but their hosts were unlucky not to pull a goal back ten minutes from time when James Page's shot hit the post and Mike Bud's follow-up was cleared off the line with Dorchester keeper Regan Coward stranded.

The Magpies will open their South-West Counties Youth League season this Saturday when they entertain Stroud at the Avenue Stadium, kick-off 2.00pm.
