If Farnborough play like they did against Eastleigh in winning 15-8 at Bishopstoke, then Brian Musk's side could have an easy ride as the third-bottom side ran the North Hampshire men close.

Eastleigh led for an hour when star man David Craddock released Wayne Rawlins in space for the opener and the forwards contained their heavier opponents until two tries in quick succession put the home side behind for the first time.

Seamus Noonan slotted a penalty to reduce the arrears, but they trudged off disappointed at a great chance missed.
