Dorch reserves 'to face pro sides'
Magpies' director of football Shaun Brooks informed second-string boss Kevin Hillier of the decision during the middle of last week. Brooks said: "We pulled them out because we would like to get them a bit closer to where we are with the first team. What I want to do is install closer links between the first team, reserves and youths because of the nature of Blue Square South and the fact the majority of the (first-team) squad will be training full-time. "What we will do is arrange fixtures every two or three weeks against, we hope, professional sides to make sure those who are not playing in the first team can get their game time and match practice at a slightly higher level." The Magpies' Reserves had been members of the Dorset Premier since 1960-1 with the exception of one season and were crowned league champions twice and runners-up three times. Hillier said: "The last time I spoke with Shaun he seemed pretty confident something would crop up (for me) so I will keep my options open (at the club) for the moment. "I am waiting to see what happens but I will not be at Dorchester if there is no reserve team. Something has always cropped up but if it does not I will take a break from the game. "It is shame because three of the reserve team were going
on contracts and it has been snatched away on a phone call." |
