Ajani Burchall and his Bournemouth Under 18 teammates defeated Cheltenham Town 5 – 0 in their EFL Youth Alliance.
Injuries meant manager Alan Connell fielded a young side, with five-under-16s starting the match at Canford Arena and three more appearing during the 90 minutes.
Jake Adams began the scoring as his forward run allowed him to get on the end of a Ferdinand Okoh pass and lift the ball over the 'keeper.
The lead was doubled when Marcus Daws cut inside onto his right foot and whipped the ball into the top corner.
Midfielder Okoh, playing his first game in a month, then broke up play, linked well with Baylin Johnson, and received the ball back to make it three before the interval.
Two late goals came in the second period, first Johnson striking low across goal for Kian Tydeman, on his under-18s debut, arrived at the back post to finish, before Daws struck his second in the dying moments with a strike from the edge of the area to complete the comprehensive scoreline.
