Cherries: Browning targets cup double
FORMER Cherries favourite Marcus Browning is targeting a famous FA Cup double the third round as a player and the fourth round as a coach.[LNB] Browning watched on from the dugout as Cherries booked their place in the third round of the |FA Youth Cup with a 5-0 win |over AFC Wimbledon last night.[LNB] The 38-year-old returned to Dean Court as a youth coach last month and has been assisting Joe Roach with the club's under-18s on a part-time basis.[LNB] Victory over the Dons set up a trip to Bolton Wanderers with Cherries due to face the Premier Academy League outfit next month.[LNB] But before heading to the Reebok Stadium with Cherries, Browning faces an eagerly-anticipated FA Cup date as a player with non-league Bath City.[LNB] The midfielder was on the bench as the Conference South club earned a second round home tie against Forest Green Rovers by seeing off League Two strugglers Grimsby a fortnight ago.[LNB] Browning told the Daily Echo: There's no reason why Bournemouth can't progress in the FA Youth Cup and Bath City in the FA Cup.[LNB] We went to Grimsby and got a good win and the young lads did likewise against Wimbledon. It's going to be a great experience for the lads to pit their wits against Bolton and the Reebok is a fantastic stage. Funny as it may seem, the higher you go, sometimes, it's easier to play.[LNB] Browning added: I love it back on the training ground. I'm working under Joe and learning all the time. He works hard and it's been fantastic for me to come in and join him.[LNB] Cherries' head of youth Roach said: We should be able to express ourselves a little bit better at Bolton.[LNB] The match will take the youth team into a new environment. Playing Premier League opposition in a fantastic stadium is going to be a great event for the players and the club. I'm sure we will go there and do the club proud.[LNB]
