Ordnance Survey upset the promotion applecart in Hampshire League Division 2 on Saturday when they brought high-flying Hedge End down to earth with a bump.
The Mapmen triumphed 4-0 - a sure sign that new manager Tim Balch is making his mark after landing at the club from their old Civil Service neighbours QK Southampton.
Former Wessex League player and coach Balch was sacked by QK but Survey secretary Geoff Smith reckons that QK's loss is Survey's gain.
"He's taken us to another level," said Smith. "Our fitness is better and our attitude is better. We did our best work at Hedge End in the last few minutes of the game."
There was nothing in it at half-time as Survey led 1-0. Hedge End had plenty of chances to get back but couldn't take them and, after Survey added a second, the Hedgemen folded. Brenton McLean and Steele Saunders scored two goals apiece for Survey who could sneak into the promotion places themselves if they keep this sort of form going.
