A LIAM O’Sullivan hat-trick helped Andover to 6-4 home win over fellow mid-table side HAC on Saturday.

The two teams played out an intense 4-4 draw earlier this season but Andover were hoping that home advantage would help them secure a win this time around.

However HAC were the team to break the deadlock after a ball slipped through the Andover defence and was calmly dispatched.

The home team bounced back quickly after a quick counter attack was finished off by James Pawley from a tight angle.
