A MASTER class of rugby from Romsey centre Graham Noble enabled his side to overcome a valiant Lychett Minster.

Both teams had early chances but stout defences kept the game tight. Noble's class with the ball in hand meant Lychett had to leave men out of rucks and mauls to cover his trickery and Romsey began to dominate.

After the game Romsey's Brian Musk was happy with his team's six tries but still thought there was room for improvement.

Lychett's veteran scrum half Nigel Cowley felt Romsey deserved their victory and enjoyed the attacking style of rugby played by both teams.
