JOHN Bond has warned Cherries to guard against complacency as son Kevin bids to avoid following his father into the club's FA Cup hall of shame.

Bond senior was among the crowd as Cherries were held to a 1-1 draw by Blue Square North strugglers Barrow in an intriguing first round tie at Holker Street on Saturday.

He saw Kevin Rapley's opener put the Bluebirds on course to become only the eighth non-league club to lower Cherries' colours in the competition proper.

But Jem Karacan's equaliser ensured current boss Kevin Bond did not write another unwanted chapter in club history as Cherries earned a replay.

An FA Cup winner with West Ham in 1964, John Bond is also one of only six Cherries managers to have suffered the indignity of losing to non-league opposition.

His black day came in December 1970 when Cherries were humiliated by Southern League Yeovil - and he is hoping son Kevin can avoid a repeat.

"On the balance of play, I don't think either side deserved to lose," said the man who went on to guide Cherries to promotion following their Yeovil embarrassment.

"You have to make allowances for Bournemouth because they only had 11 first-team players and a lot of youngsters so, overall, it was a good result for both teams.

"The replay is going to be another hard game and Bournemouth mustn't think that they have done the job and that it is going to be an easy game because it won't be.

"They should have a better chance at Dean Court and I know there was an element of relief at getting a replay. It was a competitive game and it kept your attention all the time.

"If they could win the replay then hopefully they could go on to bigger and better things. If you reach the third round and get drawn against one of the big guns it can solve a lot of your financial problems."

Cherries are hoping to stage the replay on Wednesday, November 21 with the winners earning a trip to Millwall in the second round on Saturday, December 1.

Boss Kevin Bond said: "I was delighted to come away and still be in the hat for the second round. Naturally, we wanted to win, but that would have taken away from Barrow.

"Their league form has been nowhere near what they have shown in the cup and they were a real handful for us.

"I will be glad to get them back to Dean Court where hopefully we can get the ball down and play a little bit more than the conditions allowed us to here.

"But I still expect a really tough game and if we start thinking it's all over then we could get our backsides kicked."
