Gosport & Fareham slipped to their second straight defeat in Kent left them 15-12 losers to Tunbridge Wells but coach Sean Fanning was not overly disappointed.

With four colt youngsters and two new players in the starting line-up, Gosport were right in the game until the last ditch penalty robbed them of a deserved point and Fanning said, "it is disappointing.

"But if someone had said to me that with eight minutes to go we would be 12-12, I would have said that I would be happy with that with all the new players in the side."

It is two out of two for Havant as they tore into self-imposed London One promotion contenders Worthing 52-5, having zipped into a 35-0 lead in the opening 20 minutes.

Only injuries in key positions kept the tally within non-cricket score proportions but the damage was already done as winger Steve Stapleton ran in a hat trick in the rout which puts the Hooks Lane side second with a game in hand over leaders Thanet Wanderers.

Director of Rugby Adam King was delighted. "That was a terrific start and a good result against a side that are hoping to do well this season."
