A PRE-MATCH heart-to-heart paid rich dividends for Lymington & New Milton as they wiped out the disappointment of Saturday's Cowes catastrophe with a 3-0 home win over Wimborne Town last night.
"We talked for an hour and the players responded brilliantly. I couldn't have wished for a better response," purred satisfied boss Ian Robinson. "It's no mean feat to turn a side like Wimborne over - and it could have been five."
Linnets were held 0-0 in a competitive first half but Kevin James finally broke the deadlock, tucking away Ben Thomson's low cross from the left.
Jimmy Anderson teed up the second for Paddy James to nod past ex-Linnets keeper Stewart Kearn and, with ten minutes to go, two substitutes combined for number three - Paddy James turning provider for Darren Crook to slide home.
