A DOUBLE from returning leading scorer Justin Bennett gave the travelling Lions' fans plenty to celebrate as they exorcised the memories of last Tuesday's grim trip to Blackfield.

It was a victory which at times looked unlikely as Andover played in patches and seemed more intent on arguing with each other during a bitty first half.

It could not have started any worse for the Lions as straight from the start former Salisbury stalwart Ian Chalk was tripped in the box and Stuart Findlay tucked away the spot kick with the miminum of fuss.

Home striker Paul Palmer had knocked home the loose ball a second after referee Wendy Toms had blown but she rightly disallowed the goal and gave the penalty.
