Vickers given food for thought

by Ky Capel

Boss Ashley Vickers was left with plenty to ponder after three county town trialists found the net in last night’s impressive win over a Yeovil Town XI.

Former Swindon Town youth team striker Seb Broomfield, ex-AFC Bournemouth full-back Harrison Bell and Bridport ace Ryan Dovell all registered at the Avenue Stadium as the Magpies, who opened the scoring through Chris Flood, inflicted a 4-1 defeat on their more illustrious opponents.

And Vickers, who also ran the rule over Weymouth youngster Ryan McKechnie and former Magpies Nathan Peprah-Annan, Rico Wilson and Simon Evans, was delighted with what he saw in his side’s opening pre-season friendly.

He said: “It was a really good performance. The lads put everything into practice and worked very hard.

“I know Yeovil had a lot of trialists out there but you can only beat what’s in front of you and it was a good result for us.”

Discussing the men on trial, the county town chief added: “Seb is only 18, he looks like he can finish and pop up at the right time, which is something we haven’t had before.

“Rico has something special but he’s a work in progress. Harrison was outstanding and has excellent fitness levels.

“Ryan Dovell’s very well thought of locally, he wants to make the step up and performances like that show he can.

“Depending on Rushden’s situation we will either loan Simon or sign him. He will come to us whatever.

“Nathan was here previously and from what I gather he has been playing below himself of late, with all due respect to Sholing. He wants to earn something with us and is going about it the right way.

“Ryan McKechnie is a very fit lad and I like his attitude as well. He has an opportunity here.”

The Huish Park hopefuls were keen to impress early on and they almost forged ahead inside 10 minutes – Dom Blizzard’s bullet header coming back off the crossbar.

The lower league Magpies responded though, and saw Ryan Moss go close on two occasions.

Strike partner Flood then forced ex-county town stopper Martin Horsell into action before Alan O’Brien spurned a glorious chance for the Glovers – failing to beat Dan Thomas one-on-one following a mistake by Neil Martin.

That miss proved costly as the Magpies opened the scoring in the final minute of the half.

Moss teed up Flood with a neat back-heel and the latter found the left corner with a superb curling effort.

Dorchester made wholesale changes at the break but were two goals to the good when Broomfield nodded home a James Coutts set-piece.

In reply, half-time substitute Kiernan Hughes-Mason, after a fine piece of trickery, saw a low drive palmed away by replacement keeper Evans.

But it was the Blue Square Bet South outfit who remained on top, and they extended their advantage with Dovell producing an almost identical strike to Flood’s.

The League One side did manage a consolation with Rhys Kelleher firing home, after Lewis Perkins’ initial effort was parried, but the three-goal cushion was swiftly restored as Bell met Coutts’ left-sided corner.
