STOKOE WINNER CAPS PERFECT WEEK FOR MAGPIES
James Stokoe's early goal earned Wimborne Town a 1-0 home victory over Winchester City to remain at the top of the Wessex Premier table, writes Richard Button.
It was the perfect result for a Magpies side which made it through to the Dorset Senior Cup Final in midweek.
Tommy McCormick, who earlier in the week was named as the winner of the FA Grassroots Goal of the Month for February, was named as Man of the Match following a typical hard-working performance.
McCormick said, "We had to ground out a result today. Winchester made it difficult for us, but it was good to put up a battling performance."
A thundering 25-yard goal from Tommy McCormick has earned the Wimborne Town midfielder the FA's Grassroots Goal of the Month award for February.
McCormick's stunning goal came in the Magpies 2-1 victory over Blackfield & Langley, in a Wessex League fixture played at Cuthbury earlier this year.
The goal was captured by Wimborne Town match reporter David Briggs and appeared on YouTube.
It was one of a number of goals nationwide nominated for the FA Grassroots prize and non-league fans were invited to vote for their favourite goal on the Youtube.com/theFA website.
Wimborne Town qualified for their first Dorset Senior Cup Final in a decade following a 2-1 victory over Poole Borough at Hamworthy United, writes Richard Button.
Wimborne will face Western League Gillingham Town in the Dorset FA showpiece on 13th April
The Magpies were hot favourites as they went head-to-head with Dorset Premier League Borough in this semi final encounter. And the pundits predictions seemed to be on target as Wimborne went into an early two goal lead through Tom Clarke and Gareth Barnes. But Borough struck back n the second half, grabbing a consolation goal.
The only fly in the ointment was the dismissal of goalkeeper Alan Walker-Harris as both sides ended the game with 10-men.
Wimborne assistant-boss Daren Powell admitted he is delighted the side are through to a cup final, but conceded the Magpies had made life difficult for themselves in the second half.
“Poole worked really hard, but in the second half we didn't compete as we did in the first,” he said.
Powell was also remaining tightlipped over Walker-Harris' dismissal, but described the red card as “harsh.”

Lee Chudy scored twice in Wimborne Town's last game, against Newport (IoW), and went one better with three to his name at New Milton as the table-topping Magpies ran out 5-2 winners, writes Richard Button.
On a day which saw the Wessex League programme hit by postponements, Wimborne's victory saw them extend their lead at the top of the table to five points.
Hailing Chudy's goalscoring prowess, Wimborne boss Alex Browne said: "Lee also hit the bar. With a little bit more luck he could have scored four or five."
Admitting that the game was a dour encounter, Browne added: "It wasn't a good game to watch. But it's the result that matters."

Lee Chudy's double strike gave Wimborne Town the victory they needed to stay top of the table as they beat Newport (IoW) 3-1 at Cuthbury, writes Richard Button.
The Magpies had the brightest of starts with an early goal from debut boy Steve Gilbert, but found themselves under the cosh after Newport had equalised. But this whole game changed as Chudy struck twice in four minutes.
Newport proved to difficult customers, even after having goalkeeper Gary Streeter sent off in the second half.
Magpies boss Alex Browne said: "We always knew this was going to be a difficult game, but we got another three points and the run continues.
"Newport didn't crumble as a lot of sides would have done when they were down to 10 men. Which proves they are always a difficult side to come up against."
Assistant-manger Darren Powell admitted that Wimborne Town gained victory against Lymington Town despite playing well beneath their best, writes Richard Button
Goals from Gareth Barnes, Kev James and Lee Chudy cemented the Magpies position at the the top of the Wessex Premier Division with a 3-0 victory. But with Wimborne back at Cuthbury on Saturday in a clash against Newport (IoW) on Saturday, Powell insisted that the Magpies must raise their game.
"We are pleased with the three points and the clean sheet, but we didn't take our chances in the first half, said Powell. "We were playing at only 55 to 60 per cent of our potential, and it was the same when won at Moneyfields on Saturday.
"We must start playing to our full potential, especially when we play the league's top sides, or we will come unstuck."
