TEAM Solent’s Sydenhams Premier Division revival is gathering pace.

The Southampton Solent University side followed their 7-0 battering of Brockenhurst with a 3-1 win at Amesbury Town on Saturday to ease four points clear of bottom spot.

All four goals were crammed into an eventful first half at Bonnymead Park.

Amesbury fell behind to Silvano Obeng's early opener, but levelled on 22 minutes when Luke Greenway polished off a slick move.

But Solent continued to look dangerous and reclaimed the lead 11 minutes later when new arrival Hisham Kasimu held off a challenge and powerfully beat goalkeeper Paddy Creese.

Another of the Students’ new intake, John Wallace, set up Solent’s third, crossing from the right to present Kasimu with an easy finish.

Amesbury had the chance to narrow the gap on 73 minutes when Jordan Matthews was tripped inside the area. He got up to take the penalty, but smashed it against the bar.

Creese then limited the damage with some smart late stops – two from Kasimu and one from Obeng’s audacious effort from the halfway line.

Petersfield Town celebrated only their second league win of the season 1-0 at Cowes Sports.

The decider arrived five minutes in when Jordan Geddes’ long clearance landed in the path of Luke Walker, who raced on and beat ’keeper Sam Sanders.

The Rams held on for victory despite having coach Mark Summerhill sent to the dressing room for comments made to a linesman and later losing Geddes to a red card for supposedly kicking out at an opponent as the pair fell to the ground.

Alresford Town’s hitherto unbeaten October was sabotaged by a 3-1 home defeat by Hamworthy United.

Having fallen behind on four minutes, the Magpies swiftly hit back through Geoff Dunn.

But Hamworthy floored them with two goals in the last ten minutes.

Eighth-placed Alresford are back in home league action against Shaftesbury on Wednesday (7.45pm).
