Dryden ready for two big matches ahead

RICHARD Dryden wants to finish the season on a high by putting some silverware in the St George's Lane trophy cabinet.

City, who lost 3-0 at Kettering on Saturday, are unlikely to reach the Blue Square North play-offs but are still in with a chance of winning the Worcestershire Senior Cup.

Worcester host Kidderminster Harriers next Monday, 48 hours after the visit of Tamworth, Dryden's former team.

The City boss has set his sights on winning both games and giving the fans something to cheer about.

Dryden said: "We've got Tamworth on Saturday and obviously I want to win that.

"Then we have got Kidderminster during the week. It's a cup game and I'll probably play a full side in that because I want to win something for the club."

Matt Dinsmore could have shrugged off a back problem to face Tamworth but Dryden has warned against putting too much pressure on the academy striker.

Dryden said: "Matt Dinsmore has got a really sore back.

"He had no chance of playing at Kettering but hopefully he will be fit.

"But we can't rely on an 18-year-old lad to win us games week in, week out."

He has though registered youngster William Ricketts as cover at the back and the 18-year-old, who featured for the reserves against Hednesford last week, could get a run out before the end of the season.

"William is on work experience," Dryden said.

"We will see how the injuries are and somewhere down the line he'll probably get a chance."

City's Blue Square North fixture against Alfreton Town on Easter Monday, March 24, will kick-off at 3pm.
