Brockenhurst reignited their promotion hopes by making it back-to-back victories with an impressive 4-2 win over Fleetlands at Powder Monkey Park on Saturday.
The Badgers recovered from falling behind to take control with four goals of their own, including a devastating spell either side of half-time which saw them score three times in 12 minutes.
Fleetlands took the lead in the 19th minute through Joe Briggs, but Brockenhurst gradually worked their way into the contest before producing a late first-half turnaround.
A fine lofted pass from Henry Mubiru found Mitchell Speechley-Price, who finished confidently in the 40th minute to bring the visitors level.
And they were ahead just two minutes later. Toby Colmer drove forward with a powerful run and, although former Lymington Town keeper Nico Trojanowski saved his effort, Freddie Bullard was on hand to turn in the rebound.
The Badgers carried that momentum into the second half, with Speechley-Price striking again just four minutes after the restart to make it 3-1 with an excellent finish.
The visitors were firmly in the driving seat when Harry McGrath added a fourth in the 52nd minute, completing a remarkable spell in which they had scored three times in just 12 minutes.
The Coptermen pulled one back in the 80th minute through Joe Johnson, whose superb strike gave the scoreline a closer look, but Brockenhurst held on to secure another valuable three points.
The result makes it two wins from two for the Badgers and provides a timely boost to their promotion hopes, leaving them one place outside the play-off places but level on points with the side above them.
Brockenhurst are next in action away at Horndean on Saturday, with kick-off at 3pm at the Kingsmere Group Stadium.
