Hove Blues 29 – 5 Farnham

Hove Blues produced a much-improved performance to secure a convincing 29–5 victory

over Farnham, building on a strong all-round team display.

Hove started the match well, setting the tempo early with confident ball movement and

strong defence. Their positive start was rewarded when Archie R opened the scoring,

finishing well after sustained pressure. The Blues continued to dominate possession and

territory, and this was reflected on the scoreboard as Harry S crossed for two well-taken

tries, showing great pace and awareness. Jude S added another before the break, capping

an excellent first-half performance.

The second half began more slowly for Hove, allowing Farnham to score a try and briefly

gain momentum. However, the Blues quickly regrouped and went on to control the

remainder of the match. Strong work across the park, with good support play and teamwork,

led to Ollie O going over for the final try following a sustained period of pressure and

excellent build-up play from the whole side.

Overall, this was a much-improved display from the previous week, with noticeable

progress in offloads, depth in attack, and a solid defensive effort throughout the team.
