LISS maintained their impressive recent form and moved up to sixth in the Hampshire Premier League with a crushing win over Brading on Tuesday night.
The home side dominated proceedings and played some of their best football of the season, although they will be disappointed to have conceded two soft goals.
The visitors again pulled one back, but Liss went in at half-time leading 6-2, thanks to two Paul Jayes strikes. All in all, an action-packed first half.
After the break, Liss kept it tight at the back and added two more goals – McGann completing a well-deserved hat-trick and Suman firing home an excellent volley.
Athletic now have a Christmas break before hosting local rivals Petersfield on Saturday, December 28 at the Newman Collard ground (ko 3pm).
Liss Ath 5, Amesbury Tn 2. Liss were very convincing winners against Amesbury on Saturday.
It was Athletic's seventh league game unbeaten. They also remain undefeated at home in the league this season.
Amesbury started brightly, but it was Liss who took the lead when Rudi Suman turned home Paul Jayes' cross.
A few minutes later, a great cross-field ball from Jon Noble found Jayes who outpaced the full-back and fired home to give Liss a 2-0 lead at the interval.
In the second period, Liss added two more quick goals to finish the game as a contest. Jon Noble fired home a free-kick and then Marcus Finlander rose at the back post to head a fine goal.
Amesbury, to their credit, kept going and hit back with two quick goals.
But Liss and Noble had the last laugh, adding the fifth in stoppage time to send the Newman Collard faithful home happy.
Liss Athletic's recent good form has been recognised with three players being called up for the Hampshire squad. Tony Coluccia, Steve Harding and Jon Noble will all be involved, fixture details to be finalised.
