Fixture-glut nightmare will give fringe players big chance
Wimborne Town face two games in 24 hours this weekend with a visit from a Yeovil Town XI on Friday night, and a trip to Zamaretto Premier Bashley the next day.
“It is bit of a nightmare, but could pan out well for us as we will be able to give some of our fringe players and trialists an extended run out,” said assistant-manager Darren Powell.
“Yeovil are sending their under 18s side, so we will be fielding trialists and giving a couple of goalkeepers we've been looking at pre-season their chance to impress. It will also allow our fringe players to have more time out on the pitch in a competitive game.
“James Wilson is also back from his holidays and we'll be able to give him a run out against Yeovil.
“And those that don't feature against Yeovil will make the trip to Bashley,” Powell added.
Meanwhile, Tommy McCormick is the latest player to re-sign for the Magpies.
