Getting to know A.F.C. Bournemouth


            A.F.C. Bournemouth, of southern England, are among the three teams joining the Premier League this season.  This is very impressive knowing what position they were in only six years ago.  Bournemouth were promoted to League One after the 2009-2010 season.  Only two years later, they found themselves competing for a top spot in the Championship League. After coming in first place in the Championship last season, they now find themselves in the Barclays Premier League for the first time in their clubs’ history.  “The Cherries,” as they are known as, are managed by Eddie Howe and their attack is led by top goal scorer last year (23 in all competitions), Callum Wilson.
            A.F.C Bournemouth’s home stadium is Dean Court, which was built in 1910 and holds 11,700 spectators.  The Cherries sport red and black striped kits for their home games.
