Lymington & New Milton boss Ian Robinson made a successful return his old Testwood Park stamping ground on Saturday as the Linnets came from behind to chalk up a 3-1 Wessex League success at Totton.

And all three Lymington & New Milton goals came from former Totton players to help the club close the gap on third-placed Gosport Borough to just two points following their 2-0 demise at Andover.

Martin Whiddett gave Totton a 25th minute lead with a looping header but the visitors were soon back on terms when Patrick James slotted home following some neat interplay.

Kevin Reacord rifled in a 25-yarder after 65 minutes and, five minutes later, Ben Thomson and Phil Stone swapped passes before Thomson stroked his shot under the Totton keeper.

"We already managed to secure fourth place in the table and I'm very happy with that and would certainly have taken it at the start of the season," said Robinson.

"With Gosport losing 2-0 at Andover, it closes the gap to two points and gives us a chance of possibly sneaking third spot," he added.

Linnets entertain Hamble ASSC tomorrow when Gosport also host Bournemouth Poppies, and both travel on the final day of the season next Saturday - Gosport are at Thatcham while Linnets visit Winchester City.
