BOSS Steve Cuss has told his Wimborne Town players that the rewards for victory in tomorrow’s basement battle are potentially “huge”.

Mapgies will be aiming to ease their relegation fears – and extend their nine-point lead over bottom-placed Stourport Swifts – when the Southern League Division One South & West strugglers meet at Cuthbury (3pm).

Cuss told the Daily Echo: “To open up a 12-point gap with Stourport having only six games remaining after tomorrow would be a big lead.”

Magpies will be boosted by the return from suspension of Jason Harvell and Nathan Peprah-Annan.

Meanwhile, James Stokoe will miss Bashley’s Southern Premier clash at St Albans City as he starts a two-match ban.

Magpies: (from) Ackerman, Arnold, Cole, Roast, Brian, Hill, Bajandouh, Hubbard, Kemble, Webb, Jeffes, Cook, Davidson, Magookin, Hunt, Peprah-Annan, Jamison, Taafe, Harvell.
