MAN of the match Chris Long plundered a hat-trick as Hamworthy Recreation booked their place in the second round of the Dorset Premier League Cup with a convincing 4-0 win over Wareham Rangers.

Brad Hill was also on target for Rec at Purbeck Sports Centre as victory set up a meeting with holders Swanage Town & Herston at Magna Road in October.

Blandford United will host Holt United in the second round after two Jack Jones goals saw them register a 2-0 victory over Gillingham Town at Hardings Lane.

Revised second round draw: Blandford United v Holt United, Hamworthy Recreation v Swanage Town & Herston, Sherborne Town reserves v Parley Sports, Shaftesbury Town reserves v Dorchester Sports, Milborne Port v Sturminster Newton United, Westland Sports v Bridport reserves, Merley Cobham Sports v Balti Sports, Hamworthy United reserves v Mere Town.

  • Jordan Basing, Brandon Randall and Kyle Spyers were on target in Hamworthy United reserves' entertaining 3-3 draw with league leaders Balti Sports.

Hammers led 3-2 at Weymouth College and were denied what would have been a memorable victory as Ethan Devaney's 75th-minute equaliser rewarded Balti for a sustained spell of second-half pressure.

Merley Cobham Sports moved up to fourth after recording a 4-2 win over Bridport reserves courtesy of goals from Ben Satterley, Jack Mills, Asa Phillips and Jamie Moores.

Nathan Saxby's third-minute opener for Holt United proved a false dawn as they went down 5-2 against Dorchester Sports at the Avenue Stadium, suffering their first defeat of the season.
