In the Hampshire Senior Cup Andover hot-shot Justin Bennett was a hat-trick hero as the North Hampshire outfit booked their third round ticket with a 7-1 battering of Bishop's Waltham.
Yet it was the Hampshire Premier Division outfit who snatched a shock early lead before Bennett bagged a quick-fire brace to earn Andover a 2-1 interval advantage.
The Lions ran wild in the second half with Bennett completing his hat-trick and Danny Sullivan (2), Dean Cole and Vince Rusher clocking up a convincing 7-1 scoreline.
"It was a comfortable win in the end but their early goal certainly acted as a wake-up call for us," admitted Andover secretary Chris Jeremy.
Moneyfields striker Lee Mould was dropped for the midweek clash with local rivals Fareham but he returned to the fold on Saturday with a sparkling four-goal salvo as they napped SWL rivals Alton Town 5-1.
"It was Lee's work-rate which got him the goals today," smiled Moneyfields boss Calvin Hore. "He's worked extremely hard throughout the game and has been rewarded with the goals."
Master marksman Mould opened his account from the penalty spot on 30 minutes after the Alton 'keeper hauled down teammate Sean Wayne.
Mould then intercepted a pass across the back four to notch his second with Ashley Edwards crashing in a spectacular third before the visitors scrambled one back on half-time.
A great move ended with Gavin Jones feeding Mould, who completed his hat-trick with a low 20-yard drive, and then Mould played a neat one-two with Edwards before crashing in the team's fifth on 80 minutes.
