Bournemouth Sports FC 6 – 0 Hamworthy United FC.

​Chapel Gate 12.10.24 – 15.00 KO

Bournemouth Sports preserve their unbeaten start to the league season with a 6-0 win against  Hamworthy United Reserves. 

The hosts opened their account for the afternoon in the 12th minute when a fantastic long diagonal ball from full back Max Norris picked out winger Taylor Webb who outpaced the visitors full back to fire home. Just four minutes later the men from Chapel Gate doubled their lead following some fine play by full back Jake Perch who’s cross into the box was superbly volleyed into the roof of the net by striker Sam Darlow. 

It was very much one way traffic at this point and following a long throw into the box by Perch and a flick on from Darlow, Taylor Webb converted the chance inside the box on 19 minutes. The visitors got in behind the Sports backline shortly afterwards and it required an excellent block from captain Taylor Edwards to ensure the visitors didn’t score.

Sports added a 4th in the 27th minute when some clever play from Jack Voisey saw fellow strike partner Sam Darlow convert from close range. HT 4- 0

Into the second half and Bournemouth Sports carried on where they had left off in terms of dominating the game. Darlow saw his header come crashing off the bar in the 48th minute before the hosts went 5-0 ahead when a Hamworthy player put a James Bergin cross into his own net in the 64th minute.

Bournemouth added a 6th moments later when a long throw from Dan Edwards was converted inside the box from close range by namesake Taylor Edwards. The hosts could have added a fair few more in the second half as both Jack Voisey and Josh Moody went close on a few occasions.

Bournemouth Sports 2 – 0 Portland United Reserves

05.10.24 Chapel Gate 3.pm KO

Bournemouth Sports claimed pole position in the Dorset Premier League by securing a 2-0 win against a hard working and resilient Portland side on a warm sunny autumn’s afternoon at Chapel Gate.

The first half was a bit of an anti climax with neither side really threatning. The hosts had the majority of possession, but found it hard to break down a well organised Portland side. A long range effort from midfielder Taylor Edwards sailed over in the 36th minute and a succession of corners and free kicks for the hosts came to no avail.

Late on in the half a shot from outside the box by Gabriel Spennato went just past the post and a fierce left foot shot from winger James Bergin whizzed across the face of the goal. HT 0-0

Into the second half and again whilst the men from Chapel Gate had the lions share of possession they found it difficult initially to create chances. However a change of formation midway through the half seemed to provide the hosts with more opportunities.

The visitors against the run of play almost took the lead from a corner, it needed a headed clearance off the line by Sports central defender Tommy White to ensure his side didn’t fall behind. Winger James Bergin almost put his side ahead, but saw his right foot shot go just wide of the far post.

Bournemouth grabbed two goals late on, Striker Jack Voisey fired his side ahead in the 80th minute from inside the box and James Bergin notched up his 10th goal of the season heading home a cross from substitute Dan Edwards.

Bournemouth Sports FC 6 – 3 Wimborne Town Reserves

28.09.24 – Chapel Gate – 3PM KO

Bournemouth Sports extended their unbeaten run in the league with a comprehensive 6-3 win against Wimborne Town Reserves on a nice sunny afternoon at Chapel Gate. 

The hosts started positively in terms of possession and chances against a very energetic and enthusiastic young Wimborne team. Sports took the lead in the 15th minute when central defender Tommy White converted from close range from a James Bergin corner. Bergin then put his side 2-0 ahead straight from the resulting kick off capitalising on our poor back pass to slot pass Wimborne keeper Toby Dinnivan. 

Sports now with their tails up and playing some great football added a third goal in the 38th minute as pacey winger Taylor Webb was played in by James Bergin and saw his shot cannon off the post only to fall to Jack Voisey who fired home from close range. Wimborne seem to lose concentration at this point and found themselves conceding again shortly afterwards when midfielder Gabriel Spennato saw his shot go through the legs of keeper Dinnivan. 

Wimborne did however pull one back just before the half time interval on the break. HT 4-1

Into the second half and it was the visitors that started brightly and positively and found themselves reducing the deficit with two goals on 55 & 70 minutes to make a real game of it. However the in form Bergin scored in the 71st minute with a right foot shot into the far corner and the hosts effectively put the game to bed late on when Taylor Edwards converted from close range following a set piece. FT 6-3

Cobham Sports 2 – 2 Bournemouth Sports FC

21.09.24 – 3.00Pm KO – Merley Park


Third v fourth at Merley Park on Saturday as Cobham Sports entertained Bournemouth Sports, it was a cracking day for the game played on a pristine surface, there was little to chose between the two sides and the final score at two apiece was probably a fair result in the end. Bournemouth Sports had the better of things in the first half and took the lead in the 34th minute through James Bergin, Josh Buck equalised for Cobham in the 43rd minute then took the lead in the 59th minute only for Bournemouth to equalise in the the second minute of added on time at the end of the game to make it 2-2.
Bournemouth took charge of the game early in the piece threatening out wide on the right in the first 10 minutes, catching Cobham cold at the back but the home side gradually worked their way into the game and the midfield of both sides were having a real battle for ascendency. Bournemouth Sports had a gilt edged opportunity to take the lead in the 23rd minute, again they probed down the right and Borges failed to deal with Jack Voisey out wide who beat him and when rounding Harvey Elsom the Cobham defender clipped his heals and conceded a penalty but Jacob Deakin came to the rescue with a save to his right from the Voisey spot kick.

Six minutes later Voisey carved out another opportunity and found Sam Darlow in space 16 yards out and his shot cracked against the bar. Josh Toop came close for Cobham in the 31st minute expertly beating his man but he chipped over the advancing keeper and just over the bar, a minute later Bournemouth took the lead, a long ball from Cameron Shaw beat the high, square Cobham backline and Bergin rounded Deakin and slotted home the opening goal of the afternoon to put the visitors 1-0 ahead. Cobham rallied from this setback and got back on level terms just two minutes before the interval, good work from Toop and Chris Manners saw the latter square a ball into the path of Josh Buck who drove home a fine effort from 18 yards giving Ryan Knibbs no chance in the Bournemouth goal, 1-1 at halftime.
Cobham started the better of the two sides in the second period and were starting to look threatening, Buck being in the thick of things for them and Tadgh Case brought a brilliant save out of Knibbs in the 57th minute, his shot from 20 yards being tipped over for a corner.

Cobham hit the front in the 59th minute, an excellent ball from Deakin found Toop on the right, he cut inside and found Buck who’s beautiful incisive pass caught the Bournemouth backline square and the on running Dan Brown rounded the advancing Knibbs and slotted home to make it 2-1 to Cobham. The game had now opened up and I felt that this suited Bournemouth Sports a little, Cobham became a little deep in midfield at times allowing their opponents more room to work the ball from the back but the home defence held well until conceding a corner deep into stoppage time, the cross wasn’t dealt with by Deakin and the defence and was headed home at the far post by Shaw to tie the game up and give them a deserved share of the spoils on the day.

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.
