Southsea skipper Horrod celebrates milestone with try in convincing Hampshire Two victory
And that was after falling behind!
Captain Ben Horrod said: 'After a strong performance the previous week but a disappointing result, we needed to get back to winning ways and put a strong performance together.
'The slow start was not what we wanted but the lads bounced back and we dominated from there on.

'We need to get on a winning run and remain unbeaten for the rest of the season.
'If we can do that, we can push ourselves up towards the top of the table.'

After Hook and Odiham scored straight from the kick-off, Horrod demanded a response - and got the reaction he wanted.
Nomads began to dominate and, by the break, had opened up a 33-5 lead.
Winger Ben Case (2), Branston, Horrod and Matt Smith all got on the try-scoring sheet with Branston converting four of the five tries.

Branston grabbed his second, following a clever cross-kick from Joe O'Connor-Simpson.
Smith added three more and wing forward Murray Hobson also claimed a touchdown.
It was a just reward for Hobson who was named man of the match for his tireless workrate.
It was Southsea’s sixth win in seven league matches - their only loss a 29-22 setback against leaders Havant 3rds.
