Gosport Borough nailed Whitchurch United firmly to the bottom of the table, striker Neil Scammell grabbing a hat-trick in their 6-0 romp at Longmeadow.

Darren Robson opened the floodgates with a 25-yard piledriver after 15 minutes with Scammell netting his first just before half-time with a header from Karl Lis's near-post delivery.

Ian Rew started and finished a superb six-man move from one penalty area to the other to make it 3-0 before Scammell added a fourth on 67 minutes with a fine solo effort.

Scammell unselfishly squared the ball to Fraser Quirke for number five and then a sharp turn and shot on the edge of the penalty area by Scammell saw him complete his hat-trick in the last minute.

Gosport boss Mick Marsh said: "It's a good result as it's never easy to come up here and win.

"We were certainly helped by Darren Robson who controlled the midfield for us today - it's one of the best performances he has put in here.

"The victory makes it very interesting as we have games in hand and I believe that we can close the gap on the top two," added Marsh.
