The Cherries, from North Dorset, headed to Bath having hit five goals or more on four occasions in Division One this season and boasting a goal-difference of 20 – the best in the league. But the Down proved too good for them.
All of the goals came in the second half at the Lew Hill Memorial Ground.
Alex Prior put the home side in front after 65 minutes – and substitute Alfie Andrews doubled the advantage 15 minutes later.
