Bemerton Heath 3 Andover 4

ANDOVER continued to give the new management team of Ade Burford and Ray Cozzi the perfect start on Tuesday when they took the spoils from a thriller.

Andover were beset with a string of player problems including injuries, suspensions and unavailabilities as well as bidding farewell to a clutch of players, but it mattered little. The sides combined to provide the crowd, most of whom had travelled from Andover, with a superb game.
