l In the Hampshire Premier, Andover New Street drew 2-2 with Horndean, while Stockbridge went down 2-1 to Bishops Waltham Town, a result that keeps them in 15th place. New Street boss Gary Prince was pleased with the way his side competed against Horndean, as two goals from in-form striker Nic Turpin earned his side a point. He told the Advertiser: "In the first half we didn't play as well as we have been doing, and we went 1-0 down with a bit of sloppy defending from a corner. "But we equalised straight from the kick-off, through Nic, and then we went ahead 10 minutes later, with a well-taken goal from him again after some good work from Jay Mann set him up. "We had three or four good chances to go more goals ahead; Nic had a couple of one-on-ones with their keeper, and Jay had a header well saved from a corner, and then Horndean equalised from a set-piece. "In the second half we were kicking up the slope and it was hard to create chances, but we played really well, and the defence was outstanding, and really held them off. They're a good team, only a few points behind us, so we're pleased with a point." On Saturday New Street face Petersfield away. Prince said: "It's not an easy place to play at and go for points, as it's a small pitch with a slope, and not always in great condition. But we're confident of going out there and getting all three points."
