Lymington & New Milton - who were dumped out of the Vase 3-2 at Bury Town last week - returned to winning ways at in-form neighbours Bournemouth Poppies.
"It was a pretty dour affair but, if we win our next 16 matches 1-0, then we'll be saying what a good side we are" smiled Lymington manager Ian Robinson.
The Linnets' winner came after 75 minutes, Darren Curtis just managing to get ahead of his marker to tuck away a Darren Powell free-kick.
