There was a lot to be enthused about as the county side prepare for a big step up in class after their promotion to division one of the Championship this season.

Once they took the lead, after Jacob Knight’s intelligent chip through the RN defence allowed Portsmouth's pacy Noah Cannon to score, they never looked back.

Further tries were scored by Paul Fudio (Eastleigh), Jake Hewitt (Havant) and Rory Lillington (Camberley).
