HAMWORTHY United followed up Wednesday's notable first-leg League Cup semi-final victory over Gosport with an even more impressive 2-1 win over reigning champs and table-topping Winchester City.

After 20 minutes, former Weymouth defender John Waldock headed in a Anthony Tilley free-kick which was soon followed by ball over the top of the City defence for Tom Rossiter to add a second.

Tilley also rattled the Winchester woodwork before Jamie Musselwhite set up a tense finale with a header from Mark Jones cross on 82 minutes.

"I got slated on Monday evening when I sent out a reserve team for our game at Wimborne," said Hamworthy boss Alex Pike, whose below-strength side were thrashed 7-0 at home by his former club.

"But with six games in 12 days I had to look at the bigger picture and the two results since then prove that I've been justified."

Sixth-placed Andover were held 2-2 at The Portway by Alton Town.

Efforts by Matt Styles and Callum Earl for the hosts were matched by Steve Poulton and Dave Mitchell.

Bobby Swayne blew the Lions' chances of all three points when he missed a last minute penalty.

Sharp-shooting Steve Whitcher blasted a hat-trick for AFC Totton in their 5-0 romp at Fareham after first half goals from Scott Bundy and Gareth Byers had set them on the way.

"That was a good performance and it has been coming for some time now, we totally outplayed them," smiled Totton manager Stuart Ritchie.

A Graham Makin strike plus a Stuart Findlay penalty sandwiched around a Michael Pointer effort saw Bemerton pip Cowes 2-1.

Paul White (penalty) and James Guetling eased Brockenhurst to a 2-1 success at Bournemouth Poppies. Scott Joyce replied.

Gosport's hopes of a top three finish were boosted by a 2-0 win at Christchurch courtesy of goals by Darren Robson and Abs N'Doye.
