Portsmouth Casuals 15 Fareham Heathens 1st XV 49. Portsmouth started brightly and pinned the opposition deep in their own half for the first quarter, unfortunately the penalty count released the pressure and enabled Heathens to control the game, a solid kicking game using the elements should have been more rewarding but we let Heathens escape all too often. On the positive side good decision making kept the scoreboard ticking over in the first half, casuals battled hard with good spirit and won many collisions in mid field, we finished with flare and gusto and champagne rugby had the last word with two delightful passes one out the back door to cut the opposition to shreds and finish 15 to 49. We have an attacking threat and work rate to beat all in the league, improvement to our discipline will turn the screw and bring results, lots of positives to take forward.
