ONLY a win will do to save Hamble ASSC from dropping out of the Jewson Wessex League after 15 proud years.

Last night's 2-0 home reverse against Lymington & New Milton means survival hopes rest on beat-ing Wimborne Town at Folland Park on Saturday - and praying that second-to-bottom Swanage & Herston lose to Brockenhurst.

First-half goals from Matt Town and Gareth Keeping proved the Planemakers' undoing last night, although Hamble did have their chances.

Mark Smith hit the bar with a header and it needed a smart save from Linnets' keeper Alan Walker-Harris to deny Rob Cox in a one-on-one.

Fourth-placed Gosport are one short of a century of goals follow-ing a 2-2 draw with Cowes Sports.

Borough twice fell behind to a Phil McDonald penalty and Adam Johnston, but substitute Graham Lindsey and an own goal by Andy Watson leaves them perched on 99 ahead of Saturday's closing game at home to Lymington.

A last-minute Lee Brown strike earned Eastleigh a share of the spoils, 3-3, at Portland. Dave Puckett netted the other two in response to a Darren Whyton hat-trick for United.

Newbury also left it late to pip Bemerton 2-1 through Yashwa Romeo after the Harlequins' Keith Richardson had cancelled Geoff Neville's opener.

Newbury's Danny Bemrose and Bemerton keeper Colin Hopkins were sent off.

Moneyfields' Neil Darnley also saw red for retaliation in the 2-1 win over Christchurch. Lamin Dibba headed Priory back on terms after Danny Hopkins's opener, but Calvin Hore cashed in for the Moneys with 15 minutes to go.
