September 29th
Southall visited league leaders Hartley Wintney and came away with all three points with a 4-3 victory.
Steve Macenzie opened the scoring within two minutes and the visitors dominated proceedings in the first half until Donal O'Sullivan put through his own goal to level the scores. Andre Robinson restored the lead for Southall just before half time.
Robinson added his second and Southall then began to sit back on their two goal lead. The home side took full advantage of this and added two goals to tie the score at three goals each.
With ten minutes to go Tony Macenzie scored the goal that proved to be the winner.
Overall it was another good performance by Southall who are now unbeaten in their last three league games.
