Nationwide League - Division Two
Bournemouth 0 - 3 Huddersfield Town
Town dominated the game from the off and it was not hard to see why Bournemouth are near the bottom of the table but after scoring 3 goals in the firsat half Town seemed content to play for time in a defensive role for the rest of the game.

Andy Booth opened the scoring for the visitors when he lashed home a shot after Danny Schofield had chested the ball into his path - and this within the second minute of the game!

Town continued to press forward, with Martyn Margetson pretty much a spectator in his goal, and in the 23rd minute the Terriers were two up when Chris Hay was fortunate to receive a deflection from a viscious Leon Knight volley which he fired home with some aplomb.

Knight himself added a third 13 minutes later when he headed home a Hay cross with some conviction. As the half drew to a close it was the Terriers who were in attack mode and the Cherries had all on to stem the constant raids forward.

At the start of the second half Town were pegged back by a Bournemouth side whose half time team talk must have galvanised them into action but Town came closest to scoring when Knight found himself one-on-one with the keeper but Stewart pulled of a great save.

Then on 57 minutes Derek Holmes managed to claw back a goal for Bournemouth, after Fletchers shot hit the post and trickled back to him, giving the home team something to fight for.

From the restart Knight had an excellent chance to maintain Town's 3-goal advantage but he shot over the bar when it would have been easier to score.

Thereafter Town appeared to settle for a defensive role, which was being thoroughly tested by the Cherries, and looked decidedly shaky.
Attacking opportunities were at a premium and when the ball did pass the half-way line the Town attackers were content in playing for time.

Then in the 44th minute Feeney hit the back of the net with an acute angled shot, making the score 2 - 3 and giving Town several anxious minutes (including injury time) before the referee blew his whistle.

What happened to the team that were so dominant in the first half and the team who were put on the defensive in the second can only be put down to the manager's tactical plans and, as has happened in the past, Town were left hanging on to the three points by the skin of their teeth.
