Last-day agony as Cherries are relegated
Cherries' goalscorer Brett Pitman applauds the fans at the end of the 1-1 draw at Carlisle.
Cherries' goalscorer Brett Pitman applauds the fans at the end of the 1-1 draw at Carlisle.

HEROIC Cherries crashed into League Two, despite a monumental effort at Brunton Park.

Kevin Bond's troops could only manage a 1-1 draw against high-flying Carlisle, while Cheltenham's shock victory over promotion hopefuls Doncaster Rovers condemned the Dean Court outfit to the drop.

It was a brave, brave effort by Bond's men after Scott Dobie had put the Cumbrians in front after 58 minutes.

Brett Pitman gave Cherries hope 10 minutes later, but Bond's men could not muster a winner.

Bond fielded an unchanged side from the one that set up the Greatest Escape with a 1-0 home win over fellow strugglers Crewe last weekend.

Full report in this weekend's Pink

Always does me good to see the immature self deluded herd that thinks being hard is somehow all about hiding in the middle of a group and singing songs whose words could be written by a child. WHen you call each other names and make threats behind a wall of anonimity somehow that makes it even funnier and you more pathetic. You know when you walk out your front door alone you are just the same insignificant nobody you were when you walked in, so don't show yourselves up to normal people by being brave in front of a keyboard in your bedroom eh?
