SIMON Woods, the Sydenhams Premier’s 12-goal top scorer, is out for the rest of the campaign.

The Fareham Town frontman has a ruptured Achilles tendon, side-lining him until next pre-season.

In a double blow for Fareham, assistant manager Rudi Hall has had to step down due to a change in his personal circumstances.

*AFC Totton have signed young 6ft 2in Aldershot Town centre-back Jack Barker on a dual registration.

*Ian Saunders’ AFC Portchester steamrollered Newport IW 7-0 in the Sydenhams Premier Division tonight. Two-goal Bobby Scott and Andy Todd led the charge, backed by Joe Bye, Steve Ramsey and George Wells.

*New signing Warren Bentley made it three goals in two starts for his new club Poole Town.

But it was bad news for Tom Killick’s Dolphins who fell 3-1 down at home to Hemel Hempstead before having Steve Devlin red-carded.

Bentley grabbed his second from the penalty spot, but Hemel struck again for a 4-2 National League South win.

*Bad news too for Havant & Waterlooville, beaten 2-1 at home by Truro City in the NLS after leading through Alfie Rutherford.

*A second-half penalty by ex-Saint Sam Argent sent Basingstoke Town tumbling out of the FA Cup against lower league opposition.

Hartley Wintney’s 1-0 replay win books them a second qualifying round trip to Cinderford.

*Horndean hit back from 2-0 down before winning a penalty shootout 5-4 at Lymington Town in the Hampshire FA Senior Cup.

Harry Jackson’s double made it 2-2 after Chris Willett and Zak Pickett had seemingly put Lymo in the clear. The Deans now host Bournemouth Poppies in round two.

*AFC Stoneham thrashed Verwood 5-0 in Sydenhams One and Hythe & Dibden triumphed 3-1 over Sholing’s Development Squad in the Southampton Senior Cup.
