MICHAEL Dixon returned to the Andover Town team sheet for the first time in six months during their 2-1 away victory at Bournemouth on Tuesday night.

The striker, who famously scored 34 goals in 29 games for Town during the 2013-14 season, duel registered with the club this week, making a welcome return after leaving for Southern League side Petersfield Town in the summer.

And it was a happy return for Dixon, who came off the bench at half time as his side moved three points behind Wessex Premier League leaders Salisbury with a 2-1 away win over Bournemouth Poppies.
