Non-league: Cherries duo set for Magpies debuts
WIMBORNE boss Steve Cuss is set to hand debuts to Cherries prospects Dan Strugnell and Alex Parsons when revamped Magpies aim to get off to a dream start.[LNB] Rookie manager Cuss will take charge of his first competitive match at Yate Town tomorrow.[LNB] Cuss has been extremely busy since replacing Alex Browne at Cuthbury and has built virtually an entire new team with just five survivors from the squad that struggled to a 19th-place finish last term.[LNB] A host of senior players headed for the exit, while the new arrivals have included highly-rated goalkeeper Jason Harvell, captain Scott Arnold and talented midfielder George Webb.[LNB] And as part of the signing spree, Cuss, whose day job is as head of AFC Bournemouth's Community Sports Trust, swooped for a number of players with Cherries links.[LNB] His latest recruits are first-year professionals Strugnell, a centre-half, and striker Parsons, who are set to join Wimborne on three-month loan deals in time to feature tomorrow.[LNB] Discussing the duo, Cuss said: They are two good young lads and I know what we will get from them they will give us that little bit of quality we are looking for.[LNB] Going out on loan has benefited other players before and, hopefully, they will get games under their belts and add to their development.[LNB] Cuss added: We have got a squad of 20 for tomorrow's game and the players have given me a selection problem, but it is a nice problem to have. In my mind, I know what team I am going to go with.[LNB] Magpies: (from) Harvell, Collins, Arnold, Dear, Strugnell, Lloyd, Roast, Jamison, Cole, Murray, Webb, Funnell, Magookin, Parsons, Lynch, Hunt, Davidson, Cream, Kemble, Ackerman.[LNB]
