A very impressive Holt United secured a fine 4-1 away at Bournemouth Sports who find themselves in a mid season slump. 

 

The Bulls dominated the first half and went ahead earlier on in the 5th minute when Josh Buck chipped Bournemouth Goalkeeper Luke Bardsley from just outside the area. However this didn't rock the young keeper's confidence as Bardsley pulled off a string of fine saves throughout the half to keep his side in the game. 

 

Holt asked a lot of questions of the Bournemouth defence in the first half and in addition to Bardsley's heroics in goal Holt saw efforts off the bar and cleared off the line whilst the hosts failed to trouble the visitors from any set plays and their only real chance of the half was a shot from Dan Edwards from outside the area which went off target. HT 0-1

 

Bournemouth levelled early in the second half when striker Dan Hayward headed home a cross from full back Max Norris in the 51st minute, but Holt seemed to find another gear and were soon back ahead when Josh Buck scored his second of the afternoon which was shortly followed by Kayne Daysh heading home a free kick on the hour mark. 

 

Bournemouth midfielder Jack Terry saw his powerful shot from outside the area well saved by Holt Goalkeeper Reece Mitchell before George Ashby added a 4th for Holt in the 74th minute completing an impressive win and performance for the Bulls and a miserable afternoon for the men from Chapel Gate.
