HAVANT'S season looks like ending in a damp squib after their second defeat on the trot.

Already assured of National Three South safety, the injury-ravaged Blue and Whites must surely be looking forward to the end of the month - and season - after a 42-20 loss at Cinderford.

The home team capitalised on Havant's all-too-easily-seen limitations out-back, making it a disapointing afternoon for those who made the long trek west.

Despite tries from Steve Cruddas, Lee Appleby and Graham Butterworth, and an industrious forwards display, Havant conceded five scores to the team two places below them in the league.

Havant's director of rugby, Adam King, waited until yesterday before being willing to make a comment, such was his temper after the match. And he was still in scathing mood.

"There were too many people out there whose heart wasn't in it, and who let down their colleagues as well as the supporters who made the trek west, as well as those awaiting the result at home.

"Having said that, the buck stops with me and I'll be looking to a selection to improve things for next weekend and for some new players with the right attitude as well as ability, to help the cause for next season."

l England made it four successive Hong Kong Sevens titles with a nail-biting victory over Fiji yesterday.

Making up for their silver medal disappointment at the Commonwealth Games where they lost out to New Zealand, England overcame Fiji 26-24.

In a heart-stopping final England raced into a healthy 19-7 lead, courtesy of tries from Tom Varndell, Matthew Tait and former Bournemouth player Ben Gollings before Fiji stormed back to take the lead.

But Gollings, who was largely overlooked in Melbourne, scored in the dying second and his conversion gave England victory.

Earlier England beat South Africa 24-0 in the semi-finals and Samoa 14-10 in the quarter-finals. Wales won the plate competition.
