Top scorer Jones 'definitely' stays
by

Top-scorer Jones Awuah expects to be a Dorchester Town player next
season.
Eight Magpies have signed new one-year contracts for next term.
But 23-year-old forward Awuah is not one of them. Awuah said: "I
am still talking to the gaffer (director of football Shaun Brooks).
I want to stay and he wants me to stay - it will definitely happen."
The Ghanaian admits his first full season with the county-town
club has been "tough".
He said: "It was really difficult for me at the beginning
of the season because the fans were getting on my back as the team
were not winning or scoring goals.
"It has been tough but at the same time the experience has
been good for me because I managed to score 13 goals."
Awuah said Brooks' mid-season absence because of illness affected
the team deeply.
"When he came back everything turned," said Awuah. "We
were more organised, knew what we were doing and wanted to go out
and play - nothing against anyone who took us in the meantime."
Meanwhile, Brooks wants to finish new contract negotiations with
the remainder of his squad by the end of this week. The likes of
Alex Browne, Roy O'Brien and Francisco Ramos are still considering
new deals.
Brooks said: "Some are taking options to look around because
they feel they might be able to continue playing at Blue Square
South level. We would like an answer sooner rather than later so
we know where we stand."
Brooks confirmed he is tracking "five or six" potential
signings.
