SHAFTESBURY Town returned to Wessex League Premier Division action with a hard-earned win over Brockenhurst at Coppice Street the day after Boxing Day.
Brad Hill cut in down the left and switched the ball across for Ash Pope to plant a superb shot past Brad Snelling to give Shaftesbury the lead after 27th minutes.
The Badgers nearly levelled when their captain Alex Haynes cut inside the byline and curled a shot onto the crossbar.
The game between two evenly matched teams saw few chances as the Rockies picked up three valuable points and moved up to 8th place.
