07-09-24 – Chapel Gate – 3.00pm KO
Bournemouth Sports are still the only team in the Dorset Premier League to remain unbeaten from their opening seven games with James Bergin scoring deep into injury time to earn his side a point on a rain swept afternoon at Chapel Gate.
It was the visitors from Holt who started brightly in terms of possession and looking more positive going forward whilst the hosts struggled to find any tempo and looked off the pace of the game. Holt took the lead in the 14th minute when striker George Lane found space on the edge of the area and hit a great strike past Sports keeper Ryan Knibbs.
This goal seem to give the hosts a wake up call as they were back on level terms in the 22nd minute following a fantastic pass from Tom Beckett which saw striker Jack Voisey race clear only to be hauled down by Holt keeper Tom Jobe inside the area. Voisey himself converting the resulting penalty.
Holt would regain the lead on 30 minutes when sports full back Max Norris fouled a Holt player inside the box and Lane fired home his second goal of the afternoon from the spot. HT 1-2
Into the second half and the hosts were back on level terms when Jamie Trimble powered home a header from inside the box following a great cross from winger James Bergin in the 65th minute. However Holt would find themselves ahead again in the 77the minute when the lively Sam Bennett won possession out wide and saw his pacey run and powerful shot fly past Knibbs into the roof of the net.
Bournemouth Sports had midfielder Ben Mckenzie sent off for two bookable offences and showed great character and effort throughout. James Bergin grabbed an injury time equaliser when he cut in from out wide and curled a right foot shot into the far corner of the goal giving Jobe no chance. FT 3-3
That’s the third time this season that Bournemouth Sports have scored deep into injury time to either win or draw. Whilst they remain unbeaten this result sees them drop from pole position into second place in the table.
