Floyd’s at the double for Pumas

Locksheath Pumas reached the midway point of their Hampshire One campaign with a 24-5 bonus-point win at Gosport & Fareham II.

Tries from Charlie Ford, Jonathan Elsmore and two from Sam Floyd made sure that the Pumas kept the pressure on the leading pack.

Gosport defended well all game and got themselves back into the match early in the second half to level.

But in the last 20 minutes the Pumas showed their superiority, scoring a further three tries - two of which were converted by outsidehalf Nick Destefano.

Gosport & Fareham slipped back into trouble with a 27-7 defeat at fellow London Three South West relegation battlers Trojans at Stoneham Lane.

Trojans had only won once beforehand, and that was against rock-bottom Effingham & Leatherhead.

Portsmouth, who started the season with four straight wins, are down to sixth following Warlingham’s 22-10 weekend victory at Effingham.

Portsmouth are 20 points behind leaders Reeds Weybridge.
