An injury to Hamworthy United goalkeeper Tom Hawkins contributed to his side's heavy 8-3 defeat at the hands of Lymington & New Milton.

The former Blackfield & Langley number one dislocated his elbow after going up for a challenge with Linnets defender Paul Towler and had to be replaced by striker Karim Banssaouda.

Linnets were 4-2 up at the time through Ben Thomson, Michael Jackson (2) and Sam Carter and doubled their tally through Darren Crook (2), Paddy James and a Thomson penalty.

BAT boss Andy Leader slammed his team's second-half performance at Cowes as: "The worst I've seen since I've been at the club."

Livid Leader promised that heads would roll after watching his side throw away a 2-0 half-time lead to draw 2-2 with the Islanders.

He said: "That was absolutely disgraceful we just completely collapsed in the second half," and added: "Some of our players better look out next week because they won't be at this football club."

A Stuart Kenna penalty plus a strike from Dean Cole put the Tobaccomen in charge at the break before the Islanders grabbed a point through second-half goals from Ross Gregory and Ollie Buckett.

Gosport Borough are enjoying the sweet smell of six-cess at the top of the Sydenhams Wessex League table.

Mick Marsh's table-toppers reeled off a sixth successive victory at Alton Town but they had to do it the hard way after leaking only their second league goal of the campaign.

The home side snatched a shock lead after 21 minutes when Steve Larvan found Steve Poulton who cleverly lobbed 'Boro's giant 'keeper from the edge of the penalty area.

But a foul on Gosport's Danny Sturman gave John Cripps the opportunity to level matters from the penalty spot after 65 minutes and, ten minutes later, Sturman netted Boro's winner following a mis-kick by Alton defender Simon Chivers.

Gosport assistant manager Gary Lee said: "It was similar to Saturday in that it was another very lethargic performance from us."

Fareham Town made it four wins on the spin, James Lacey's 26th-minute header securing them a 1-0 verdict against local rivals Moneyfields at Cams Alders.

A hat-trick of headed goals by Ian Mancey rescued SWL champions Winchester City a point in a 3-3 thriller with Thatcham at Waterside Park.

Adam Campion gave the Berkshire side a 32nd-minute lead against a City side who gave a debut in goal to Alex Hards - son of manager Neil - but two Mancey headers from corner-kicks by Mark Smith and Kevin Brewster put the champions ahead by the break.

An offside-looking Ian Davies put Town level after 77 minutes and he looked to have given Thatcham a shock victory when he capitalised on a defensive mix-up on 90 minutes.

But Mancey struck four minutes into stoppage time with an equaliser and there was still time for Mancey to have a fourth headed effort ruled out for offside.

Wimborne recovered from their 4-1 home mauling at the hands of Andover to triumph 2-0 at Dorset rivals Portland courtesy of a first-half Michael White header and a last-minute strike by Gareth Barnes.

Brockenhurst player/manager Graham Kemp enjoyed his Bank Holiday weekend after the Badgers followed their FA Cup success with a 5-0 awayday napping of Hamble ASSC.

Dan Marks opened the scoring after 15 minutes with a far post finish from a Matt Morris cross and Morris himself then notched their second five minutes later following a superb eight-man move.

Nick Kemp crossed for Paul White to head in a third on 50 minutes. Then, almost straight from the restart, Alan Wright bagged a fourth before adding his second and Brock's fifth after 75 minutes with a cracking 30-yard shot.
