STUDENT Ben Wilson has won a Daily Echo competition for two tickets to see AFC Bournemouth take on Stoke City this weekend.

Mr Wilson, 20, said that since he began studying linguistics at the University of Kent he has struggled to make it to Cherries home games and has had to give up his season ticket.

"This is amazing, it will be good to go to a home game again, they are a bit special," he said.

"I am home in Broadstone this weekend to visit my family."

Mr Wilson said he would first ask his dad to accompany him as "he likes to get along when he can", and if he can't make it he will ask his friends, with whom he occasionally attends Cherries games in the London area.

"I want to be confident about the result, we want to be winning these sorts of games," he said.

"I predict 2-0 to us, but it is a Premier League game and anything can happen.

The competition is run in conjunction with Carlsberg.
