The Cherries opened the scoring in the 29th minute when Steve Fletcher fired home after being put through by Marcus Browning.

Ben Futcher equalised five minutes later for Lincoln, heading home from a corner, but Bournemouth regained the lead on the stroke of half-time when Carl Fletcher hit home from six yards out after lsoing his marker.

Stephen Purches and Gareth O'Conner extended the lead to 4-1, and although Mark Bailey got another strike for Lincoln the game was killed off when Carl Fletcher headed home his second of the game in the 83rd minute.
