FA CUP heroes Lymington & New Milton warmed up for Saturday's crunch fourth qualifying round tie against Conference outfit Woking with an 8-0 demolition of lowly Hamble ASSC at Fawcett Fields.

The Linnets are enjoying a red-hot streak of form at the moment as this was their tenth consecutive win in all competitions which helped earn them the Daily Echo club-of-the- month award for September, presented before the game.

"We were excellent today but I know that they had quite a few players out injured as well. It was as convincing as the scoreline suggests and now it's all systems go for the FA Cup on Saturday," smiled Linnets' manager Ian Robinson.

Hotshots Darren Crook and Patrick James proved that they are ready for action by both plundering hat-tricks, a Paul Towler strike and an own goal completed their tally while the Linnets also saw Hamble keeper Nick O'Donnell save Ben Thomson's first-half penalty.
