LOCKS HEATH continued their rapid rise up into fifth spot after reeling off a third successive victory with a 3-1 home win against Andover New Street.

Pete Lines netted his fourth goal in as many games to put Heath in front on 40 minutes after Andy Ricketts had nodded the ball across the face of goal, before Ricketts scored with a well-placed header to double their lead after 52 minutes.

An error by home keeper Pete Gear saw the visitors reduce the arrears but substitute Joe Morton come on to net with a far-post header and clinch all three points.

"We are progressing nicely and our next two games against Stockbridge and Lymington Town will tell us exactly where we are," said Heath manager Matt Parr.
