The Cherries made it three wins in a row as they finished the season in style with am emphatic win at Morecambe.  The Cherries first ever visit to Christie Park proved to be a highly enjoyable one and 474 Bournemouth supporters thoroughly enjoyed the experience of watching game with nothing riding on the result!

Kicking towards the home supporters, Bournemouth started slowly, but an excellent corner routine on 7 minutes saw Rhoys Wiggins pick out the returning Joel Ward to powerfully head home his first senior goal.

It was then Shwan Jalal's time to shine against his former club as he pulled off two excellent saves before Brett Pitman and Jeff Goulding were denied at the other end.

On 35 minutes it was 2-0 thanks to a brilliant turn and strike from Liam Feeney, and it before long, it was 3-0 when Pitman found the net with another terrific effort.

Brett Pitman makes it 3-0

Morecambe feared the worst when just before the break, Jeff Goulding was set free. only to be denied by Barry Roche in the Shrimpers goal, with a handball outside the box..  Referee Mr Moss had the red card in his hand ready to show Roche, but was alerted to a linesmans flag giving a very tight offside decision.

The second half belonged to Bournemouth as they created a host of chances.  Josh McQuoid and Goulding went close before Wiggins crossed for Pitman to net his second of the afternoon. 

Bournemouth kept looking for a fifth, but a 4-0 away win on the final day of the season is certainly an excellent return and this caps off a remarkable turnaround for the side since Eddie Howe took over.
