RON Frost's fortuitous goal earned New Milton Town a 1-0 win over Wessex One rivals Totton & Eling at a windswept Fawcett’s Field last night.

Frost’s swirling cross-shot was inadvertently pushed into his own net by Millers goalkeeper Matty Fredericks after 66 minutes.

Chances were at a premium during a dour encounter which was ruined by the elements as Shane Sheridan's Linnets completed a double over their opponents.

The contest boiled over late on when New Milton’s Richard Keith received a straight red card for reacting angrily to a challenge.

New Milton host Whitchurch United on Saturday, while leaders Christchurch entertain improving Verwood and Ringwood travel to Tadley Calleva.

Linnets: Burgess, Keith, J Smith, Aspin, Cole, McCoy (H Smith, 70), Harris, Frost, Louka (Texciera, 77), O'Sullivan, Ashford (Lines, 60). Unused sub: Barber.
