Fordingbridge consolidated their fourth place in Hampshire 1 with a 35-22 home win over Petersfield.

Bridge led 18-7 at the break with tries from Mat Norton and Dan Brown – with Norton kicking a conversion and a couple of penalties.

Petersfield came back with three tries in the second half but Harry Hitchin and Rob Hayes both went over in between keep their side in command.

Bridge captain and man of the match James Greenwood said: “It was a tough game played in great spirit but it was a good feeling to bring in the result at the Rec, especially after the disappointment of losing at Petersfield earlier in the season.”
