Eastleigh assistant manager David Hughes missed a gilt-edged late chance in a goalless draw at home to Lymington & New Milton.

Former Saint Hughes came on as an 80th-minute substitute but headed over a Phil Warner cross from two yards with two minutes remaining.

Warren Kenna and Nicky Banger both had first-half efforts cleared off the line but Gosport's failure to win at Cowes means it's as you were at the top. Eastleigh boss Paul Doswell said: "It was a great cross from Phil but Dave's bad back means that when he jumps he knows what's coming when he lands which doesn't make it easy for him.

"It was one of those days for us. The bobbly pitches you get at this stage of the season don't make it easy, they're a real leveller, but we had five corners in the last minute and the best chances.

"I can't remember Colin Matthews having a save to make but as long as we keep doing the same as Gosport we'll win the title."
