New Milton 39 - Ellingham and Ringwood 12

Our 1st XV result away at New Milton in the Hampshire Premiership was disappointing, with us failing to take any bonus points.

We started brightly and took the lead when our number 8 Ben Warren crashed over for a good try early on, but New Milton then dominated and took the game beyond our grasp.

We finished well and were able to dominate the final ten minutes. In this period Ben Warren helped himself to another try that was converted by our centre Matt Raybould, but it was all too little too late.
