Cherries: Bore could be Bradbury's man

Cherries boss Lee Bradbury appears to be leaning towards Peter Bore as the man to end his search for a new right-back.[LNB] Bore, who lined up against Glenn Hoddle Academy in the EC Group Cup, has been invited back to face Cardiff City in tomorrow's pre-season friendly at the Seward Stadium (1pm).[LNB] The 23-year-old is currently a free agent after turning down fresh terms to extend his stay with hometown club Grimsby, although the Mariners would be entitled to compensation should he sign for Cherries.[LNB] Bradbury, speaking to the Daily Echo following last night's 2-2 draw at Winchester, said: I am hoping to get Peter down for the Cardiff game. I think he has got good potential and, although a few clubs are after him, I know he would like to come to us. He enjoyed it when he came down, he liked the way we played and he got on well with the lads.[LNB] Bradbury is today expected to make decisions on trialists Jordace Holder-Spooner, Sofiane Choubani and Ivan Forbes. Choubani and Forbes both featured against Winchester, although Holder-Spooner was ruled out due to a hamstring problem.[LNB] Portsmouth defender Lewis Tallack, Dorchester's Gary Bowles and Polish trialist Szymon Sidorowicz also turned out at Winchester where Lyle Taylor notched his fifth goal of pre-season to give Cherries the lead.[LNB] However, a late brace from Darryl Phillips saw the hosts hit back before a fine finish from substitute Elliot Ward earned Cherries a draw, with teenage goalkeeper Jordan Seabright catching the eye for Bradbury's men.[LNB] Bradbury said: It was a worthwhile exercise and some of the younger boys did very well, as did a couple of the pros.[LNB] Cherries: Seabright, Hester (Tallack, h-t), Nelson (Strugnell, 72), Sidorwicz, Bowles, Forbes, Wakefield (Ward, 60), Campoy, Choubani (Parsons, h-t), Stockley (Moth, 72), Taylor.[LNB]
