This success was emulated as the under-16 girls booked their place in the Hampshire Cup semi-final with a 4-0 win over Portsmouth FC.

The Cherries were 1-0 up at half time, as Kitty hit a curling shot straight past the Pompey ‘keeper, but it was the second half where the Bournemouth side were at their best.

Goalkeeper Mollie provided an assist for Ellie to double the lead, before Kitty added her second and a own goal also increased the score-line.

Women’s development squad

Sunday afternoon saw the Women’s development side record back-to-back victories in the Southern Region Women’s Football League, as they beat Tilehurst Panthers 3-1.

Helen Corbin netted the Cherries opener inside 15 minutes, as she ran clear of the last defender and smashed the ball into the bottom corner.

Towards the later stages of the half, Amy Nash cleared a Panthers shot off the line to keep the side leading at half-time.

Two quickfire goals were scored by AFC Bournemouth as the second half started, Corbin with her second of the game when she converted in the 55^th minute, after Larissa White scored a powerful finish just two minutes before.

With just ten minutes left to play, the away side pulled back a goal, but it wasn’t enough to get them back into the game and the Cherries took the three points.
