M.A. HART BOURNEMOUTH LEAGUE ROUND UP FOR  W/E SUNDAY 14^th APRIL 2024

Unbeaten Hajduk closing in on the title

Unbeaten FC Hajduk need two points from their two remaining games to clinch the DIVISION ONE title following their 3-1 success against East Christchurch Athletic. After two gruelling cup finals during the week, Hajduk were playing their fourth game in eight days and it looked to be taking its toll when Mickey Finch gave Athletic an early lead. River Smith looked to have doubled Athletic’s lead but, fortunately for Hajduk, his close range effort at the far post was ruled out for offside. Hajduk equalised early in the second half when a cross from the right was headed home by Will Hodge. Substitute Claudio Carvalho put Hajduk ahead in the closing stages with a far post header before Will Hodge capitalised on as defensive error to make the game safe.

East Christchurch SSC were spared the ordeal of having to play four times in eight days when their opponents West Howe were unable to field a team.

Sam leads the way with a hat-trick

Sam Nash led the way with a hat-trick when Camerons maintained their DIVISION TWO title challenge with a 5-2 midweek victory over AFC Burton.     Kayne Barnett and substitute Curtis Keats were the other Camerons marksmen while Jensen Ogles scored both Burton goals.     

Camerons picked up another three points on Sunday morning when fourth placed Victoria Park Rangers failed to raise a side.

Camerons are now six points adrift of leaders Rushmere who are next up for them at Watermans Park this Sunday morning.     I think it’s safe to say that both teams will be turning up for this one.

AFC Burton were due to play at home to Bournemouth Sports on Sunday morning but the game did not take place as the visitors were unable to field a team.

Liam Roberts and substitute Jon Spooner netted for Hordle Spurs but West Howe Reserves, whose senior side couldn’t field a team, just got the better of them 3-2 thanks to Matt Justice and a couple of goals from Jaime Gil Martinez.

Muscliff’s hopes of finishing above second placed JP Morgan in DIVISION THREE were dashed when they went down 2-0 to goals from Lee Forward and Leon Jarrett against A.P.R. on Wednesday evening.      

Muscliff then joined the growing number of clubs failing to fulfil their fixtures when they scratched their game against JP Morgan on Sunday morning.

Rangers have Woodville in their sights

New Forest Rangers need five points from their three remaining games to snatch the DIVISION FOUR title from the grasp of Woodville Wanderers following their 3-1 win over third placed Southbourne Athletic.     Matty Crowe, Michael McElhatton and substitute Josh Taylor were on target for Rangers whose Jack Clarke saw red.
