Albion were dumped out of the Auto Windscreens Shield in heartbreaking fashion.

A golden goal by youngster James Hayter 12 minutes into extra time put the low-strength Bournemouth through to the Southern Section Quarter Finals.

Substitute Claus Jorgenson exchanged passes with Mark Stein before sliding the ball across the face of goal.

It left Hayter with the simplest of tasks at the far post.

Albion made two changes to the team beaten at Rochdale on Saturday.

Aspinall replaced the injured Pinamonte and Campbell came back in from the cold at the expense of Mayo.

There was a surprise on the bench, with teenager Packham upgraded to the No 2 goalkeeper ahead of Bournemouth boy Ormerod.

Bournemouth were missing seven players through injury and had two more suspended, but they still had the prolific Stein upfront.

Albion had most of the early play, with Freeman the first to threaten in the sixth minute.

Turning on a pass from Aspinall, the topscorer's well-struck shot was kept out by Ovendale diving to his left.

Aspinall, up against one of his many former employers, was drafted in to support Rogers and Oatway against Bournemouth's five-man midfield.

Stein, sold from Stoke to Chelsea for £1.5 million earlier in his career, is a very dangerous predator at this level.

The pint-sized striker got on the end of O'Neill's cross from the left in the 11th minute, but the ball would not come down for him and his lob was easy for Walton.

Robinson, on target twice when Albion last visited Dean Court in the 1995-96 season, tried to put Stein through with a chipped pass, but Crosby was alert to the danger and headed back to Walton.

Campbell then made an important challenge on Hayter deep inside the area from Stein's centre as Bournemouth began to find their measured stride.

Carr showed rare enterprise in the 26th minute for a player essentially regarded as a rugged central defender.

He won possession with a firm tackle from behind on Stein, then continued his run to meet a cross from Freeman which he headed wide.

Hart spurned a good chance to put Albion in front three minutes later, heading narrowly wide of the far post after Oatway made room for himself to cross.

The miss was typical of Hart's season in front of goal.

It just hasn't quite been happening for him.

Oatway was proving quite an influence in the middle of the park.

His tenacity gave Aspinall a shooting chance from long range, but his effort flew way wide to ironic cheers from a decent sized crowd.

Campbell shot wildly high and wide from a cross by Freeman seconds into the restart.

Hart, turning on Watson's pass, fired over from the edge of the box a few minutes later as Albion pressed for a breakthrough.

Walton made a second important save in the 56th minute.

Hayter cut inside to strike a low left-footer from 20 yards which threatened to sneak into the far corner of the net when Walton deflected it for a corner at full stretch.

The Albion defence employed a risky offside trap on occasions.

It almost proved to be their downfall when Hayter's long pass put Stein momentarily clear, but he was eventually crowded out.

Albion made a substitution on 70 minutes, Cameron replacing Hart upfront.

Bournemouth responded with a change a minute later, Jorgenson coming on for Fletcher.

Freeman tried to end the stalemate with a shot from 25 yards with 11 minutes left which Ovendale pushed comfortably over his crossbar.
