Shaftesbury faced rock bottom Alresford Town at Arlebury Park on Saturday, the home side having had a season of turmoil but now rejuvenated under new management.
Rockies took the lead with a header from Sam Lanahan in the 11th minute as Sam Bayston beat his man and the ball deflected into the box, with Ash Pope also key in the press.
Alresford levelled six minutes into the second half through Nathan Whittaker.
Substitute Aiden Shepherd, known as the Postman, delivered with a 65th minute finish from Luke Delaney’s through ball to win the game.
Harry Bunce, on a dual registration from Bashley, had an impressive debut.
Bunce scored 16 times for the New Forest side in their promotion season.
