POOLE Town are up to fourth in the Vanarama National League South, just two points behind early pacesetters Maidenhead.

Tom Killick’s newly-promoted Southern Premier champions clinched a fourth win in six games with a 4-2 success at lowly Hemel Hempstead.

James Granger, Luke Burbidge and ex-AFC Totton forward Luke Roberts made it 3-0 to the Dolphins before Hemel had Arnaud Mendy dismissed for a second booking.

After Ryan Case had weighed in with Poole's fourth, ten-man Hemel struck late through Sam Corcoran and Jake Robinson.

There was stoppage-time heartbreak for Gosport Borough, stunned 1-0 at home by Bishops Stortford.

Sam Smith inflicted last-gasp agony on Alex Pike’s men, who sit 14th with seven points from six games.

Pike has welcomed in two new midfield signings – Jamie Barron from Winchester City and ex-AFC Bournemouth man Josh Carmichael, who had a two-week trial with Millwall.

Gosport travel to Oxford City tomorrow (Monday, 3pm), while Poole host Bath.
