The Cherries reserves were in action at Southampton tonight.  The sides met last week at Dean Court, with the Cherries knocking Saints off the top of the table with a 1-0 win, but they regained their position at the top with a narrow 2-1 win against a spirited Cherries side.  Warren Cummings, Josh McQuoid and Jeff Goulding all started for the Cherries.

Chamberlain gave the home side the lead on ten minutes.

Jeff Goulding equalised from the penalty spot on 22 minutes. 

Callum McNish put the Saints back in to the lead two minutes later.
