Bournemouth Sports produced a five star display with a comprehensive 5-2 win against Westland Sports from Yeovil.

The men from Chapel Gate started brightly and in the ascendancy racing into a 4-0 lead inside 40 minutes. Bournemouth keeper Jakub Lewiarz hit a perfect long pass forward to winger Taylor Webb who’s run and cross into the box was converted by player coach Joe White from close range in the 6th minute. Taylor Webb would double his teams advantage in the 20th minute with a fine run and left foot shot into the corner past Westland keeper Harrison Wallis. 

Bournemouth with their tails up added a 3rd only a moment later when a cross from Joe White was headed out and volleyed into the roof of the net from outside the area by Tom Beckett. The hosts almost added a 4th in the 27th minute following some good link up play between James Bergin & Joe White with White going close to adding to his tally. 

However Joe White would score his second and his team’s 4th in the 40th minute when he followed up a shot from James Bergin to convert from close range. The visitors rarely threatened the hosts in the opening 40 minutes, but were handed a lifeline just before half time when Bournemouth captain Tommy White fouled a player inside the box who duly converted the spot kick. HT 4-1

The second half saw the visitors from Yeovil have more possession of the ball and creating some half chances and they would reduce the deficit in the 63rd minute following a good cross into the box and a headed goal past Lewiarz. 

Taylor Webb grabbed his second goal of the game in the 76th minute heading home a cross from Billy Mcdermott and Striker Dan Hayward almost increased his teams lead moments later, but saw his fierce left foot shot from inside the area well save by Wallis. 

Bournemouth Sports can reflect on a decent February gaining maximum points and three consecutive wins.

08.02.26 Chapel Gate : KO 14.00

Bournemouth Sports recorded their first home win in three months with a 1-0 win against Portland United Reserves on a mixed afternoon of weather at Chapel Gate. 

Sports with a new formation in recent weeks were often on the front foot in the early stages and scored the only goal of the game in the 23rd minute when striker Dan Hayward played a lovely weighted diagonal ball across the pitch for new recent signing Billy Mcdermott to race onto a fire wide of Portland Goalkeeper Andy Ennals into the far corner.

The men from Chapel Gate went close to increasing the lead when Jamie Booth played a low cross into the box, but Taylor Webb was unable to make a connection. A Tom Beckett corner saw Billy Mcdermott almost doubling his side’s lead, but his effort was cleared off the line by a Portland defender. At the other end and late on in the half Portland striker Rocco Walsh headed over from a cross. HT 1-0 

Bournemouth started the second half brightly with a Jake Perch cross finding substitute James Bergin who fired just over. Keeper Jakub Lewiarz had to be alert in the 80th minute to make a fine save from an effort just outside the box whilst Bournemouth looked for that second goal, but it just didn’t arrive. 

Pacey forward Taylor Webb often caused the Portland backline problems and went close in the 81st minute. James Bergin saw his 20 yard free kick parried by Ennals whilst in the latter stages of the game the Bournemouth defence held firm under pressure to secure the win, 3 points and a first clean sheet for since August.

17.01.26 County Ground 3pm KO

Bournemouth Sports secured their first win of 2026 with a 3-2 win against Hamworthy United Reserves at the County Ground in a competitive and entertaining game. 

The first half saw very few chances or opportunities despite the men from Chapel gate having the majority of possession. Max Norris saw his header from a Luke Street cross go just over the bar early on in the half and a header from Striker Dan Hayward also went close just before half time. HT 0 0

The second half came alive, Bournemouth substitute striker Rob Howard looked lively but suffered a foot injury meaning another substitution with the impressive Billy Mcdermott coming on for his debut. Luke Street fired his side ahead on the hour mark with a great shot across Hammers keeper Jacob Deakin into the far corner before moments later Daniel Viner converted from close range from a set play to score against his former club. 

The hosts fought back well and Laptin Yeung headed home a corner in the 72nd minute. Shortly afterwards the Hammers were down to 10 men when Brady Boontam received his marching orders for a second offence. Dan Viner went close with a header from a corner and moments later the hosts broke from a Bournemouth corner to level the score through Kieran Gooding. 

The men from Chapel Gate responded well and striker Dan Hayward converted from close range from a corner in the 90th minute to secure the win and all 3 points.

Potterne Park – 22.11.25

Bournemouth Sports recorded a fourth consecutive win in all competitions with a 3-1 victory against Verwood at a very wet Potterne Park. 

Weather conditions coupled with a very muddy pitch contributed to a very scrappy game at times and the first half saw chances few and far between. The hosts had a few crosses into the Bournemouth box and shots that didn’t trouble Bournemouth keeper Jakub Lewiarz whilst for the visitors a couple of shots from outside the area by Jake Perch went wide and Captain Taylor Edwards also saw two efforts flash across the face of the goal. 

The deadlock was broken just before half time when a Max Norris corner deceived Verwood keeper Atygai Alimov and ended up going in just inside the near post. HT 0-1

With the weather deteriorating in the second half the game lacked fluency, but Lewiarz had to be on guard to pull off a fine save in the 65th minute to keep his side ahead. Moments later substitute Rob Howard bundled home from close range following a cross to the far post provided by Taylor Webb. Indeed Howard would almost add to his tally a couple of moments later, but saw his effort go wide of the target. 

Verwood pulled a goal back in the 80th minute following a corner and resulting goal mouth scramble the referee deemed the ball had crossed the line much to the annoyance of the Bournemouth players who protested and claimed it hadn’t. However a few minutes from time Rob Howard grabbed his second of the afternoon racing onto a through ball to finish and put the game to bed. 

Taylor Webb almost grabbed a 4th Bournemouth goal when played in, but saw his effort come back off the post. FT 1-3

Chapel Gate 15.11.25

Bournemouth Sports recorded their biggest win of the season to date with a fine 8-2 performance against local side Hamworthy United Reserves. 

The Chapel Gate side yet again this season over powering their opponents with their direct style of play and efficiency from set pieces. 

Taylor Webb got the hosts off to a flying start in the 5th minute when played in by Captain Taylor Edwards, Webb’s powerful shot was deflected over the stranded Hammers keeper Louie Steele. Sam Bennett made it 2-0 in the 23rd minute firing home from close range following a long throw into the box by Jake Perch. The visitors pulled one back in the 26th minute when Charlie Shears finished well having been played in from a good through ball. 

Bournemouth went 3-1 ahead in the 41st minute when striker Dan Hayward headed home from a Taylor Edwards corner. Bennett made it 4-1 in the 43rd minute with a carbon copy of his previous goal converting from a Jake Perch long throw. Indeed Bennett would complete a first half hat-trick when converting a penalty just before half time. 5-1 

The second half had only just re-started when Sam Bennett was fouled just inside the box and this time Taylor Webb duly converted from the spot to make it 6-1. In a game Bournemouth dominated further goals from fullback Luke Street and a close range effort from player coach Joe White saw them 8-1 ahead before the Hammers got a late consolation goal by Eric Richardson to see the final score finish 8-2. 

Bournemouth have now won eight out of nine games at home this season to date notching up an impressive 40 goals in the process.

1st Nov – Chapel Gate – 14.00 ko

Bournemouth Sports secured a seventh home win of the season with a comfortable 3-1 result against Gillingham Town from North West Dorset. 

The hosts started brightly with Jamie Booth going close before they took the lead in the 11th minute. A long throw from Jake Perch was initially cleared, but eventually ended up back with him and his cross was met by Sports striker Rob Howard who’s goal bound effort was sliced into his own net by a Gills defender whilst attempting to clear it. 

The men from Chapel Gate went 2-0 ahead only moments later when Rob Howard converted well from close range following good play between wingers James Bergin and Taylor Webb. At the other end the visitors went close following a good pattern of play which resulted in the striker missing from close range. On another occasion veteran Bournemouth keeper Marc Davies had to be alert to block a shot from close range and at an acute angle. 

James Bergin saw his direct free kick rattle off the underside of the bar in the 37th minute with the hosts unable to follow up on the loose ball to extend their lead. HT 2-0

The second half became a somewhat scrappy affair with lots of stops and starts which ultimately affected the hosts more as it disrupted their rhythm and fluency. However they eventually got the third goal in the 70th minute when Captain Taylor Edwards played in a low free kick into the box which was converted by Central Defender Daniel Viner scoring his first goal for the club following his move from Hamworthy United Reserves in the summer. 

Gillingham won a penalty in the 80th minute when Jake Perch was judged to have fouled a player inside the box and the resulting spot kick was duly converted. Bournemouth held out firm in the final ten minutes as they were on the backfoot and defended well ensuring an important 3 points and a first win since late September following some tough fixtures in October.

27.09.25 – Weymouth College Sports Centre – ko 3.00pm

It was raining goals in a highly entertaining game at Weymouth College as last seasons DPL league champions Bournemouth Sports came away with all three points, winning 5-4 with striker Dan Hayward scoring the winner in injury time. 

The hosts started brightly and went ahead in the 11th minute when striker Troy Walbridge converted from close range inside the box. The visitors from Chapel Gate went close on two occasions with winger Taylor Webb seeing both efforts go over. However Webb would level in the 27th minute racing onto a flick on from Hayward to score. 

Bournemouth Sports were now beginning to take control of the game and went ahead in the 32nd minute with Hayward heading home from a corner. Fellow striker Sam Bennett put the visitors 3-1 ahead in the 38th minute heading in from a cross. Balti playing with much enthusiasm pulled one back, again striker Walbridge converting from inside the area. Sam Bennett would get his second of the afternoon racing onto a through ball and finishing well in the 41st minute before Walbridge would complete his hat-trick and score the goal of the game with a thunderous effort from 30 yards. HT 3-4 

Balti Sports started the second half brightly chasing the equaliser which eventually came in the 70th minute when substitute Matt Chambers scored from close range. At the other end Bournemouth striker Sam Bennett went close twice, lobbing Jacob English in the Balti goal, but saw his effort bounce wide of the target and on another occasion saw his powerful header superbly saved by English. 

Bournemouth keeper Jacob Lewiarz was certainly having a busy period in the second half and pulled off several fine saves to keep his team in the game. As the game went on Balti Sports enjoyed more of the ball and looked the most likely to grab the winning goal, Bournemouth sat deep and looked to play on the break. The winning goal came in the 90th minute when striker Dan Hayward headed in from a corner taking his tally to nine goals for the season and ensuring the men from Chapel Gate remain in second place in the league table and went home with all 3 points. FT 4-5

20.09.25-Chapel Gate-3pm ko

Bournemouth Sports impressive home form continues following a fine 5-1 win against neighbours Ham Rec Reserves at Chapel Gate. 

The hosts took the lead in the 13th minute when a corner from Max Norris deceived everyone and ended up going straight in. Sports striker Dan Hayward thought he had increased his sides lead in the 32nd minute superbly heading home a cross, but the effort was ruled out for pushing. However three minutes later a cross from full back Jake Perch found Hayward who played the ball off for fellow striker Sam Bennett to finish superbly just inside the box. 

The visitors who opted for more of a passing game always looked lively with the likes of Elliott Birtwistle and Matt Kerse on the ball and almost pulled one back in the 42nd minute following a goal mouth scramble which included Sports keeper Jakub Lewiarz making a fine save and some fantastic last ditch defending by the backline to prevent a goal. Ollie Rodriguez would pull one back on the stroke of half time though with a shot just inside the near post. HT 2-1

Into the second half and as has been evident on numerous occasions this season the men from Chapel Gate scored twice from set plays to ultimately put the game to bed. In the 65th minute a long throw from Jake Perch was headed home by central defender Tommy White and three minutes later a Taylor Edwards corner was headed in by Dan Hayward.

The men from Chapel gate would add a 5th in the 78th minute when Hayward played a superb weighted pass to winger Taylor Webb to race onto a finish in style to take his goal tally to seven for the season. Late on Winger James Bergin almost added a 6th goal, but saw his effort hit the side netting. 

Bournemouth Sports have now won their opening six league games at Chapel Gate and as ever look very strong from their direct style of play. Their have been many player departures from the side that won the league last season, but the new players have slotted in very well and the side look both strong and competitive yet again.

30.08.25 : Chapel Gate : 15.00 KO

Bournemouth Sports made it four successive wins at home so far this season with a comprehensive 7-2 victory against an enthusiastic and energetic Wimborne side on a very wet and windy afternoon at Chapel Gate. 

The hosts got off to a perfect start when winger Taylor Webb raced onto a through ball from captain Taylor Edwards to fire home inside the opening minute of the game. The men from Chapel Gate would double their lead only moments later when striker Dan Hayward headed home a cross from close range into the roof of the net. 

Relentless Bournemouth added a third in the 11th minute when new striker Sam Bennett & Taylor Webb combined well together in a move that saw Webb score his second goal of the game.  As the half went on Wimborne grew into the game and had a lot of possession without creating too many chances. However they did pull one back in the 32nd minute following some good approach play. HT 3-1

Bournemouth started the second half brightly and substitute Tom Beckett saw his effort from just outside the area go close. The men from Chapel Gate would increase their lead in the 54th minute when Taylor Webb grabbed his hat-trick converting well from an excellent cross into the box by Josh Kerney. Sam Bennett would score a debut goal in the 64th minute finishing well from a flick on by Dan Hayward. 

Central defender Tommy White would score his second goal of the week when he powerfully headed home a Taylor Edwards free kick in the 70th minute. Indeed Edwards almost scored himself movements later, but couldn’t quite get the right connection at the far post following a low cross into the area. Wimborne scored again in the 73rd minute when a striker headed home from a cross into the box. 

Substitute striker Madison Wilkin returning to Bournemouth Sports this season put the game to bed in the 77th minute firing home a left foot shot inside the box following a bit of a scramble.  

The win sees last season’s league champions in 5th place having a had a reasonably decent start to the campaign.

27.08.25 Chapel Gate KO 18.30

Bournemouth Sports returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory against Poole Borough. 

The first half was a very scrappy affair with the visitors sitting deep and frustrating the hosts. Bournemouth took the lead early on when a cross / shot from Kian Bright hit the underside of the bar with striker Dan Hayward on hand to follow up from close range. 

James Bergin, Taylor Webb & Kian Bright all went close for Sports whilst at the other end Bournemouth keeper Jakub Lewiarz was not tested. HT 1-0

Into the second half and Poole Borough grew into the game roared on by their vocal supporters and went close on a couple of occasions to equalising, but were denied by Lewiarz who is having a great start to the season since joining ironically from Poole Borough in the summer. 

Bournemouth defender Max Norris did tremendously well to get in a last ditch tackle to deny Tolulope Adesoji who seemed certain to score whilst the men from Chapel Gate failed to find any rhythm or fluency to create any clear cut chances. 

However the hosts would finally wrap things up late on when Tommy White headed home a Josh Kerney free kick to secure the win for Bournemouth Sports who have won all three of their games at home this season to date.
