Romsey lost to high flying Folland Sports 3-1 last weekend, after taking the lead through Craig Vigar.
Substitute Dan Mason sparked Folland’s revival, equalising less than two minutes after coming on.
Jamie Barron and Matt Burt sealed the Planemakers 10th win in their last 11 games.
Romsey co-manager John McFarlane summed up: “I don’t think 3-1 was a fair reflection of the game.
“It’s a hard result to take when you’re one nil up with not a lot of time left.
“Especially as I felt their first goal was clearly offside.
“Our goalkeeper was ahead of their player which meant there was only one defender between him and the goal and there has to be two.
“But it shows how far we have come as a group that we are disappointed to be losing against sides like Folland and Sholing.
“But if we keep playing the same way, we will get our luck eventually.”
