The home side sat six places above Christchurch in the Wessex League premier division before kick-off – but this clearly didn’t phase the visitors, who came from a goal behind to secure the victory.
The Royals started strong, with Jack Breed squaring the ball across goal in the seventh minute and Brandon Miller rifling it home.
