ANDOVER Town progressed to the first round of the FA Vase with a hard-fought 3-0 win away at Bemerton Heath Harlequins.

Despite the scoreline the Portway-based side were forced to battle hard for the win against a side they had comfortably beaten in the league earlier this season.

Bemerton started the brightest with a few early chances but failed to seriously test Town goalkeeper Jamie Bray in the opening ten minutes.
