Match result: Bournemouth Poppies 0 v Christchurch 9

Goal Scorers: Jordyn (4), Keam (3), Bradley, Taylor.

On a pleasantly warm afternoon Christchurch dominated play for the opening 15 minutes, putting six and seven passes together at a time but without being able to get the final ball right. Poppies threatened from a couple of free kicks without forcing Noah into a real save. So it was left to the route one method for Jordyn to run on through the Poppies defence and score. A minute later and Jordyn was through again although the keeper saved this time only for Taylor to follow up to make it 2-0. Christchurch continued to dominate possession, without adding to their total but then Jordyn crossed from the left for Keam to score at the far post. Just before half time Jordyn scored with a header which evaded the Poppies keeper.

Half Time 0 - 4

The second half was a few seconds old when a lovely ball from Max put Keam through down the right to beat keeper for the fifith. Moments later Keam went through down the right again to beat the keeper with a lovely chip for his hat trick. The game went with Christchurch creating a number of chances, but also engaging in a bit of a sloppy spell when Poppies had some half chances. Also the big Poppies keeper stood up well to a number of shotsas well as coming out to clear a number of through balls. Bradley had hit some good shots from distance before he beat the keeper from a narrow angle with the help of the post. As Poppies tired Jordyn completed his hat trick with a shot from distance, before rounding off the scoring when he volleyed a final goal when the ball came to him from a miss hit shot.

Full Time 0 - 9

All round a comfortable win for Christchurch whilst keeping another clean sheet.
