Wimborne to keep their cool against 'bogey team' Didcot

By David Simpson

Play Off Semi Final

BOSS Matty Holmes believes Wimborne Town’s poor record against “bogey team” Didcot will not have an impact on tomorrow's season-defining battle.

Magpies go into their crucial Southern League West play-off semi-final against the Railwaymen having lost both league fixtures with them this season.

Diddy overcame Holmes’s charges 4-2 at Loop Meadow in August before completing a league double with a 1-0 win at Cuthbury in December.

But with Magpies having home advantage and expecting a bumper crowd for the end-of-season spectacle (7.45pm), Holmes is keen for his talented squad to express themselves.

He told the Daily Echo: “Everything rides on one game and we just have to make sure we stay calm and stick to what we want to do.

“The boys are used to playing high-pressure games. They will take things on the chin and just get on with it.

“That’s what I am looking forward to, seeing them thrive in the environment and showcasing what good players they are.”

He added: “Didcot are our bogey team, they have beaten us twice this season.
