BOSS Steve Cuss is facing a selection dilemma after Wimborne’s impressive 3-2 Dorset Senior Cup win over Dorchester in midweek.

Cuss welcomes back Adam Costello and Jon Blake ahead of tomorrow’s home Southern Division One South & West clash against Shortwood United (3pm).

And although goalkeeper Jason Harvell and midfielder Aidan Sainsbury are both suspended, Cuss admits his squad has provided him with a welcome problem.

He said: “Competition for places is fierce. The players have put me in the nice position of making it difficult when I pick the starting XI.

“This is an important part of the season. We have a lot of games coming up and we need to start picking up points to take us a little higher up the table.”

Dan Ackerman looks set to replace Harvell in goal, while Pete Singleton will provide back-up on the bench.

Magpies: (from) Ackerman, Arnold, Cole, Maybury, Peprah-Annan, Costello, Blake, Davidson, Hubbard, Kemble, Smith, Webb, Roast, Grose, Jeffes, Mogg, Singleton.

  • In the Southern Premier, Bashley will be looking to get back to winning ways after Tuesday’s 1-0 reverse against Hitchin when they host play-off contenders Cambridge City (3pm).

Bashley: (from) Moore, Wheeler, Knight, Oliver, Stephenson, Middleton, Richardson, Strickland, Casey, Gradwell, Stokoe, Gamble, Jenkinson, Hill, Green, Foster.

  • Verwood striker Mike Haskell misses the Potters’ trip to Wessex Premier high-fliers Downton through suspension.

Potters: (from) Lynch, Evans, J Smith, Delaney, Kelly, Dyer, Webb, Satterley, Gajic, Rose, Saxby, O'Connell, M Smith, Jones.

Hammers: (from) Knights, Murray, Walker, Horlock, Staines, Hester, Lanahan, Sturgess, Penny, Carlile, Shovelton, Bradley, Wyatt, Muller, Hampton-Brown.

Linnets: (from) Hookway, Morris, Blackburn, Barge, Curtis, Fox, Thomson, Booker, De’ath, Molloy, Donaldson, Pidgley, Mullins, Ramos, Head, Groves.
