MARK Molesley says he wants to continue working for Cherries "in any capacity I can" and is refusing to rule out the possibility of doubling up as the club's under-21 boss and manager of Weymouth.

Molesley has been an unmitigated success since taking charge of Cherries under-21s on an interim basis and yesterday led them to a 2-0 victory over Newport County, their fifth Central League win on the bounce.

Both goals arrived in the first half, 16-year-old defender Brennan Camp heading home Kyle Taylor's corner on 36 minutes, with Jordan Green doubling the home team's advantage shortly before the break.

Molesley, who is also in joint-caretaker charge of Southern Premier Weymouth, told the Daily Echo: "It is a good experience, it is making me a better coach and I am enjoying both roles.

"I will have to see how things work out. I love being at Bournemouth. I am learning so much and I want to be at this club in any capacity I can.

"If that situation arose, where I was asked to do both jobs permanently, I would look at it. But until such a time, I will try my best in both roles."

Molesley and Paul Maitland replaced Jason Matthews for the final three league games of Weymouth's campaign.

After guiding the Terras to a 2-0 Good Friday triumph over Chesham United, the duo returned to earth with a bump on Easter Monday when Weymouth lost 3-0 at struggling Cirencester.

Despite having rediscovered the winning feeling as his under-21s' eased past dogged Newport, Molesley insisted his young charges could do better.

He said: "I was a little disappointed with the performance to be honest. The players didn't reach the standards they have set themselves. A few of them got frustrated and started to do things how they wanted them done. That is not the AFC Bournemouth way.

"It is credit to our boys that teams will set up to try to stop them. But then they have to show more urgency and move the ball quicker to break that down.

"We developed a couple of bad habits in the game. But it is a learning curve, we have had some good performances. That was average by our standards but we got the job done."
