High-flying Hamble ASSC clamber over BAT into the dizzy heights of tenth spot after napping Blackfield & Langley 5-1.

"We'll be getting a nosebleed soon," smiled ASSC manager Larry Clay. "We've played very well again and could have scored even more goals. Apart from the Swanage game last season, when was the last time Hamble scored five goals?

"I've got a very promising, young side here which I need to keep together. Jamie Musslewhite played an hour today with seven stitches in his leg and we've had all sorts of seven-day approaches for him but he, and some other lads, are more than happy to stay here at the moment," confirmed Clay.

Louis Langdown smacked home an 11th-minute penalty after he was brought down but Blackfield equalised eight minutes later with a well-worked Steve Wheatland goal.

Steve Whitcher netted either side of half-time to put the Planemakers 3-1 up before Robbie Ackroyd and a first-ever JWL goal from captain Joe Partridge completed the scoreline. ASSC's Paul Miles was later red-carded for the professional foul that led to Wheatland's spot-kick being superbly saved by Pete Harris.

It was also high fives at Bemerton Heath Harlequins where a late flurry of goals saw Steve Slade's home side triumph 5-2 over Christchurch.

Bemerton full-backs Carl Jones and Adam Nash gave them an interval lead and substitute Danny Aplin made it 3-0 before Steve Hillier replied for the Priory men eight minutes from time to spark off a late goal rush.

On 85 minutes Aplin netted his second to make it 4-1, Ross Edwards pulled another back 90 seconds later before Keith Richardson restored Bemerton's three-goal margin.

Fareham's Pete Wood nailed Whitchurch firmly to the foot of the table with a stunning nine-minute hat-trick inside the opening 20 minutes of their 3-0 win at Longmeadow.

Wood netted his first from the penalty spot on ten minutes after Phil Roscoe had been brought down, then he spectacularly volleyed in Lloyd Mitchell's cross before wrapping up his second treble in two weeks with a quickly-taken free-kick.

"We are a very happy camp and Pete took his hat-trick very well and those early goals certainly helped to kill the game off. The only down side is that Floyd Hamoudu has taken a knock on his knee," said Fareham manager Jon Gittens.
