The Fighting Falcons sponsored Thirds showed from the first whistle that they were in no mood for a sloppy start.

Lloyd Heggie and Hywell Inglis rampaged up the pitch and quick ball to the backs unleashed Dominic Trett for the first of his brace of tries, converted by Mike Graham.

Andover continued to press and Paul Gilbert soon skipped through to extend the lead with Graham again converting.

Alresford had no answer to the onslaught and with the front five dominating the scrums and lineouts it was impossible for the visitors to retain the ball, allowing Andover to open the floodgates.

The next try was simply beautiful, as skipper Bert Baxter and Steve Rogerson interlinked several times across almost the length of the pitch before Rogerson touched down giving Graham an easy conversion.

Further tries came from Gordon Mitchell, Charlie Ward, Heggie, Gilbert, Inglis, Jason Bate, Dave Hoo, and Trett.

The most popular try, however, came from youngster Sam Gibbs who added to some powerful runs and bone-crunching tackles to easily earn man of the match.

Andy Dawkins had a sterling afternoon guesting for the opposition.
