Cherries: Lee delighted with Rec rout

13 July 2011 07:00
BOSS Lee Bradbury hailed Cherries' professional approach after watching his team dish out a double-figure demolition at Magna Road.[LNB] Bradbury's men got their pre-season campaign under way with a resounding friendly 10-0 win over their Dorset Premier League hosts last night.[LNB] Danny Ings, Mark Molesley and Steve Lovell bagged two goals apiece, with Mitchell Nelson, Liam Feeney, Mathieu Baudry and Lyle Taylor also on the scoresheet.[LNB] Bradbury told the Daily Echo: "I was really pleased and I thought the lads applied themselves excellently.[LNB] "They tried to do the right things all the time even when they were winning by quite a few goals. They moved the ball quickly and worked hard when they didn't have the ball.[LNB] "There were some really good individual performances and I thought the lads looked sharp all over the field.[LNB] "It was good for them to get out there, play the right way and score a few goals."[LNB] Feeney was the star turn in the first 45 minutes as Cherries got off to a flying start.[LNB] The winger provided the assists for Ings's double and Nelson's header, while also producing a crisp finish of his own.[LNB] Mike Notley twice came close for the hosts and was unlucky not to get a goal when he saw a second-half header hit the crossbar.[LNB] But Cherries responded by increasing their tally late on. The winning margin could have been even greater but for the annual heroics of Hamworthy Recreation's veteran goalkeeper Kevin Leonard.[LNB] An FA Vase winner with Wimborne Town in 1992, Leonard again demonstrated his quality with a string of fine saves, denying the likes of Ings, Lovell and Marc Pugh before being substituted to warm applause.[LNB] Bradbury added: "I'm tempted to sign him! Every year, he pulls off numerous saves when he shouldn't do. He is a technically great keeper."[LNB] Bradbury fielded different sides in each half, with trialist trio Sofiane Choubani, Jordace Holder-Spooner and Ivan Forbes among those to get game time.[LNB] The Cherries boss confirmed he would be keeping all three involved this week.[LNB] Bradbury also revealed he was hoping to agree personal terms with Charlton defender Simon Francis in "the next couple of days". The two clubs agreed a fee last week but talks with the player have since been ongoing.[LNB] Cherries first half: (4-4-2) Flahavan; Purches, Nelson, Barrett, Hester; Feeney, Gregory, Arter, Choubani; Fletcher, Ings.[LNB] Cherries second half: (4-4-2) Jalal; Stephenson, Cooper, Baudry, Cummings; Holder-Spooner (Forbes, 70), Robinson, Molesley, Pugh; Taylor, Lovell.[LNB] Goals: Nelson (16), Feeney (18), Ings (22, 41), Baudry (48), Taylor (75), Molesley (79, 85), Lovell (84, 90)[LNB]
