Brockenhurst recovered from a punishing run of four defeats against title-chasing clubs to edge out Bournemouth Poppies 1-0 at Grigg Lane.

The winner came with 15 minutes to go when Paul Manning's free kick was only half cleared and Dave Midgley volleyed home from around the penalty spot.

"It was very pleasing. We were back to the sort of performance we were producing last year," smiled Brock boss Graham Kemp.
