SHAFTESBURY 2 PORTLAND United’s Wessex League Premier season began with a 2-0 loss to a much-improved Shaftesbury at the Camp & Satherley Stadium. The Rockies have brought in former Christchurch manager Ollie Cherrett and a host of talent, including ex-Merley star Asa Phillips and Swanage forward Cameron Beard. Shaftesbury warmed to the task quicker than the Blues in the opening half, with home keeper Mike Edgar saving well from Brad Hill before Sam Poole blocked Luke Delaney’s follow-up. But 10 minutes before the break the Rockies found an opener when former Dorchester midfielder Gary Bowles broke through and supplied Jamie Wilson to head home with aplomb.
Clarke has made clear his satisfaction with the core group of first-teamers signed last season. The Blues are creating a development pathway from under-18s level to the reserves and onwards to the first team. However, Lucas revealed the Blues’ board would back Clarke and assistant Sam Poole if suitable new players were identified. He told Echosport: “Most definitely the case is fostering that development of players. “Franklyn and Sam brought a number of players in last season and everyone could see that was a developing team improving week after week. “Most people can see that the longer that team stays together and works hard in a culture that is comfortable for players, that has to be seen as the way forward.
