A SECOND half revival saw Bemerton Heath Har-lequins take all three points at Western Way against Christchurch.

In a bright opening, both sides settled into an attacking mode and chances were created, but not taken.

Heath's Stuart Findlay shot inches wide in the first minute while 'Church striker, Chris Kennedy, retaliated with a shot straight at Scott Kemmis.

Neil Cole then had two headers - one over the bar and one which he glanced wide.

The visitors again replied with James Bailey-Pearce picking up a loose pass from Quins' defence but he fired inches wide.

But a very special shot after 29 minutes opened the scoring for Christ-church. Full back, Jason Atkins, was wide on the right when he cut inside Harlequins' defence to unleash a spectacular 25-yard strike, which flew past Kemmis.

The visitors were ecstatic and gave Bemerton's defence a torrid time for the next ten minutes. Andy Chainey was shown a yellow card for a clumsy challenge on Ross Edwards and was then lucky not to concede a penalty when he appeared to trip Kennedy, but the referee ruled it was outside the box.

It was a different story in the second half as Heath got their act together.

Findlay was creating space and causing all sorts of problems for the visitors' overworked defence. The striker got through three times with a defender clearing the first off the line, keeper Max Framp-ton denying him with a first class save, but on the third attempt - in the 68th minute - he managed to outfox them all and neatly slipped the ball home.

Substitutions were made by both teams, with Bemerton's Kevin Thick replacing Mark Daubney.

Thick's first touch saw him head wide from a fine cross.

Christchurch had a good chance when Ridout's shot took a deflection and the ball bounced and spun back to the goal where Darren Harding had to be alert to head off the line.

Harlequins responded positively.

Findlay set up Cole with a neat pass for him to drill home from 18 yards after 75 minutes.

The visitors tried to get back into the game, but the ever-alert Kemmis was in fine form, bravely saving at the feet of Kennedy, and then held on to a strong shot from Ben Griffiths to ensure Heath bagged all three points.
