SOLDIERS Return made their exit from the Hampshire Sunday Intermediate Cup at the weekend, losing on penalties to visiting Bournemouth Sports.

The home side dominated the first half but only had one goal from Stuart Cubbage to show for their efforts and Bournemouth equalised before the break.

Cubbage’s second goal had Soldiers ahead in the second half, but the visitors scored twice to take the lead and while Ellis Hauman made it 3-3 near the end, it was Bournemouth who won the shoot-out 5-4.

Dayers Fine Foods progressed to the second round of the Andover Presidents Cup, Alex Brown’s hat-trick giving them a 3-1 win over Antons Arms.
