FA Cup heroes Lymington & New Milton continued their hot streak of form at the 3-0 expense of Fareham at Fawcett's Field.
Despite missing John Bailey, Darren Curtis and Kevin James through injury and naming Ben Thomson on the bench, Ian Robinson's re-jigged side roared to their fifth straight win.
Phil Stone spun off his marker for the first and then Lee Hodder, making his first start since signing from BAT, saw his powerful header from John Mulhern's cross wriggle through the hands of Town keeper Lee Webber.
Mulhern was also the architect of the third, crossing for Kevin Reacord to net.
Apart from a 15-minute floodlight failure, it was another perfect night for the Linnets. Manager Robinson smiled: "I thought it would be a tight struggle with four players out, but the lads have done a tremendous job."
Guy Whittingham's AFC Newbury avenged their FA Cup exit at Totton by winning last night's league encounter 2-1 at Testwood Park.
Injury-hit Totton succumbed to two quick goals by Dean Mildenhall and Anthony Alleyne midway through the second half before Chris Marwood replied.
Wimborne leapfrogged Totton into fourth by overcoming ten-man Thatcham 5-2 at The Cuthbury through Darren Powell (penalty), Stuart Cannie, an own goal, Mark Smith and manager Paul Arnold's 18-year-old son Scott. The Berkshire visitors had a man dismissed for a first-half foul on Marcus Oldbury.
