LYMINGTON and New Milton came away with a terrific three points in their 3-1 win at Wessex League One leaders Andover, reports Andy Starmore.
Darren Crook gave the Linnets the perfect start in the opening half when he put the New Foresters in front before Earl Callum equalised for the home side shortly after the break.
Ian Robinson's outfit played some excellent football throughout the contest and deserved to regain their lead when Paul Towler headed home Ben Thomson's corner in the second period.
Linnets goalkeeper Mark Watson was called into action shortly after that when he had to make an excellent save from a Justin Bennett penalty and with just five minutes to go, the game was wrapped up for the visitors.
Paddy James produced the cross for Kevin James to find the back of the Andover net at the far post to make it 3-1.
Linnets: Watson, Curtis, P Smith, Towler, Sheppard, C Smith (Anderson 60), Reacord, Clothier, P James, Crook (K.James 75), Thomson. Unused sub: Carter.
