AFC Totton produced another solid display as they triumphed 2-0 over Willand Rovers, writes Benjamin Rees.
On a sunny Saturday at Snows Stadium, both sides struggled for fluency in a stop-start first half hour. Totton looked the more likely to score, and capitalised on a good spell with Jake Adams drilling home on the spin from a Shaquille Gwengwe cross.
The second half followed a similar pattern to the first, before the Stags doubled their lead with a moment of real quality, as Sam Griffin fired a brilliant long-range effort past the away keeper George Burton.
The hosts pushed for a third, but in the end saw the game out for a confidence-boosting victory, which takes them up to third in the Southern Division One South table.
