Bridgwater & Albion are in the third round of the EDF National Trophy after a 23-15 comeback win over National Three South rivals Havant on Saturday.

Havant, who have lost all 10 league games this term, took an early lead thanks to Ryan McBride's try.

Luke Cozens scored a penalty and converted a Simon Morrell try as Bridgwater & Albion took the lead.

Steve Cruddas restored Hav's lead after the break but Alex Lloyd and David Kimberley sealed it for the hosts.

Havant director of rugby Tom Drewett told the club website:

"That was an encouraging performance, despite there being one or two key players missing.

"I believe we can travel to fellow relegation contenders Chinnor next weekend with a degree of optimism."
