Romsey entertained the crowd on a cold December morning with another epic comeback performance following their last game 2 weeks ago.
Andover looked strong opposition in second place in the table with Romsey placed third, and with a few changes from their previous fixture.
Romsey got off to a blistering start, holding the ball from the push back, Sean Rawles played the ball to Jamie Bundy who drive down the left, he was supported by Rupert W and Milo B, they inter changed passes and passed the ball to Colin Harwood his pass in to the circle was touched by Rawles and was met at the back post by Freddie OH who put the ball in the goal from the tightest of angles for 1-0.
Andover soon went in the attack and Pete OHara played a starring role clearing the ball to avert a pass in to the circle, then Simeon Field and George H stepped in to cover off more Andover forward play.
Eventually pressure told and Andover put together a move from a penalty corner to equalise, and to rub salt on the wounds took the lead despite valiant attempt from Nigel King in goal to get down to stop a fierce shot going inside the post.
So Romsey started the second half behind, but man of the match Milo B was linking up superbly with Jamie Bundy and Rupert W creating changes for Rawles and then Carl Hendy.
Against the run of play and with Rob Cav clearing a number of passes from right back the ball fell to an Andover stick to make it 3-1 to the visitors.
Romsey were down but not out and Henry B gave some stability in the middle and Romsey won a penalty corner.
Rawles played the ball to Harwood, and he drew three runners to pass the ball to Rupert who shot firmly past the keeper to bring it back to 3-2.
Romsey now were in top and the keeper saved a chance from Harwood and then Hendy before Milo B got the ball on the right and smashed it across the circle for Jamie Bundy (“he scores very week”) to take a first time shot to equalise.
There was still time for Andover to miss from a couple of penalty corners and Simeon Field to take a green card breather just to make it interesting, but Romsey held out for a successive 3-3 draw.
