Citys second away trip of the season took us to the Fitness First Stadium at Bournemouth, with it being classed as our local derby, the City fans turned out in their droves for this match in what was a warm and sunny day.

Tiz's line up again comprised of: Jones, Tully, Friend, Gill, Seaborne, Taylor, Harley, Stewart, Edwards, Logan and Stansfield.

City seemed to appear a little nervous to begin with, but took things in their stride as the game progressed. Within the first few minutes, City were awarded a free kick on the edge of the box, which was taken by Harley, but the chance to take advantage was quickly cast aside.

Bournemouth had a few chances but didnt capitalise on them well at all. Chances fell for Stansfield several times, a knock on from Logie saw an effort go wide and having an effort denied by the keeper also.

Bournemouth then tried their luck with a cheeky lob, but it went wide, much to the relief of the travelling fans.

Ryan Harley was again showing his classy skills and tried his luck with a long range shot, only to see his effort go straight into the arms of the Bournemouth keeper. Rob Edwards also had a long range shot go just wide of the post - you did wonder if it was going to be another one of those games!

The second half seemed to look like it was not going to go Citys way. Another one of Ryan Harleys corners was met by Matt Taylor who just headed the ball wide.

In the 65th minute Tisdale introduced Dean Moxey, taking off Richard Logan. Moxey's presence seemed to take an immediate effect and City continued to put the pressure on, with Seaborne just heading wide from a set piece.

In the 67th minute, what then happened was almost a deja vu of what happened at the play off semi-final 2nd leg at Torquay, Rob Edwards set up Ryan Harley who, with his left foot, struck the ball so sweetly in the back of the net, sending the large travelling contingent ecstatic!

Within seconds Deano had crossed the ball in, but unfortunately Stanno couldnt quite get on the end of it. Bournemouth tried to ply on the pressure, but the
City defence and Jones coped very well in the dying minutes. Craig McAllister replaced the exhausted looking Adam Stansfield for the last few minutes of the game and for what seemed like an age the final whistle blew and City celebrated their first win back in the football league.

Again there were many stars today, Rob Edwards, Matt Taylor and Ryan Harley all excelled once again. With this current team it is a concern of how long we can hold on to some of these players.

City again played some good passing football, but at times were defending a little deep, but there is little doubt that we can make our mark on this league. Next week we take on another team on minus points, Luton, at St James' Park, can City move on to 7 points for August? There is only one place to be to find out and the way City are playing you would be mad to miss it.
