It was a day of contrasting fortunes for Totton's two SWL clubs.

League leaders AFC Totton were hit by a last-minute sucker punch in their 1-1 draw with Bemerton HH, while BAT moved off the bottom of the pile with a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth Poppies - their first league points of the season.

Ian Shields, who officially hands over the managerial reins to Barry Blankley for tomorrow night's league game at Hamble ASSC, said: "I'm very disappointed. We created a lot of chances in the second half but didn't put them away and were punished late on."

David Egerton had given Totton a 67th minute lead when he scrambled the ball home from a corner but Harlequins grabbed a last-gasp equaliser through substitute Andy Chainey with a thumping 15-yard shot.

Bemerton boss Steve Slade added: "Our centre-forward was flat out on the pitch when they scored their goal and we've shown a lot of character and battled hard for the point.

"In our last ten games, nine of them have been against sides in the top ten and four of them, including Totton, have been top of the table so the fixtures haven't been kind to us."

Next door neighbours BAT had their first points of the season in the bag before half-time as they beat Bournemouth Poppies 3-1 at Southern Gardens.

"I'm very pleased for the boys and the club. We haven't played poorly all season and I suppose the difference today was that we finally took our chances," cooed BAT boss Andy Leader.

Richard Gregory fired the Tobaccomen into a 15th minute lead when he found the net from an Andy Chance cross via the upright and a Poppies defender.

Richard Glenister stabbed home from a corner to level for the visitors but BAT replied with two further goals within a devastating five-minute spell.

First Gregory turned provider with a good delivery from which Dave Roberts smacked the ball home and then Paul West whipped in a left-wing cross for Gregory to finish from six yards.

The Graham Kemp factor continues to work its magic at Brockenhurst where the Badgers held title-chasing Gosport to a 1-1 draw.

Player/manager Kemp had a hand in their goal after seven minutes, his free-kick found Tomas Frenneson - a new-signing from Salisbury - crossed for Alan Wright to side-foot them into the lead,

Gosport levelled from the penalty spot through Stuart Hensman on the hour although Brockenhurst had three efforts cleared off the line late on.

"It's an excellent result and I thought that we more than deserved it," said the Brock boss. "I've said to the lads that we've got to make ourselves difficult to beat and the players attitude was spot-on - maybe the luck is starting to turn our way."

A 60th minute header by Richie Woodburn - his third goal in four games - was enough to give Cowes Sports all three points away at Downton.

"We don't normally do very well here at Downton, so I'm really pleased to come away with maximum points," said Cowes manager Derek Ohren.
