Liss Athletic in seventh heaven after returning to winning ways

Liss Athletic got back to winning ways, putting seven past Hampshire Premier Football League Division One leaders Meon Milton to advance into the League Cup quarter-finals.

Elliot Harrison (2), Angus Mackay (2), Charlie Harrison, Dan Clark and Harry Stanbridge were on target as the Blues won 7-3.

An energetic high press in the first half stunned Meon with Elliot Harrison finding the net with a volley and a delightful lob. In between, Clark had headed home from a corner. Charlie Harrison’s pin-point free kick beat the wall and went in off the underside of the bar to give Liss a commanding 4-1 lead with 20 minutes to go, with Mackay slotting home a fifth.

The hosts rallied and pulled two back, but Liss weren’t finished with Stanbridge poking home before Mackay got his second.
