Despite a much improved attacking display, Saxon Safety sponsored Andover fell to another disappointing defeat at the Goodship ground last Saturday and slipped into bottom place in Regional South two.
It was a case of so near yet so far for the 'All Blacks' who with ten minutes to go looked favourites to pull off a much-needed win, but once again five minutes of madness undid all of the hard work, leaving the home side with just a single bonus point to show for all of their efforts.
Playing up the slope in the first half Andover started badly with both scrum and lineout creaking and soon conceded two converted tries against the workmanlike visitors.
Stung into action after 20 mins Andover suddenly began to play.
Good defence from Andover saw CJ Fiern pounce on a loose ball and kick through for man of the match Harvey Maloney to regather and set Feirn free to score his first try of the afternoon.
Three minutes later Andover struck again in spectacular fashion.
Tom Erskine offloaded in midfield to fellow lock Dave Barber and the impressive giant set off on a mazy run that took him past three defenders in a fifty meter dash to the line, converted by Matt Ryan.
Ryan then gave Andover a half time lead with a penalty for foul play on skipper Alex Hibdige as both sides received yellow cards.
After the break with slope in favour Andover were confident but almost immediately conceded a converted try after failing twice to exit their twenty-two.
Ten minutes later Andover struck back after a catch and drive from Barber , saw the home side go through a number of phases involving Tom Waite, Callum Barber Starkey, Hibdige and Callum Hollinshead, before Ioan Gwynne Davies off loaded cleverly for Barber to grab his second of the game.
Unfortunately the conversion was missed and when Andover soon after also missed a penalty in front of goal things began to look ominous.
Indeed Chobham soon made Andover pay with a penalty and then a converted try to stretch their lead.
Andover however still enjoyed a lot of possession and once again were patient, going through phases with big carries from Nic Reed before Gwynne Davies again turned provider this time allowing Roman Barton Knott to score.
Just three points behind with tails up Andover now looked favourites as Chobham visibly tired, but then two defensive howlers turned the game on its head as Andover inexplicably lost concentration at the vital moment.
With moments left Andover continued to press but when Feirn went over powerfully for his second converted by Ryan, after a brilliant high ball take from Maloney, it was met by the final whistle and once again the home side were left very frustrated.
Afterwards Director of Rugby Andy Waite said 'There was a lot of heart and passion on display today and the lads are really listening in training and are improving. We were much more patient in attack today which is what we've been asking and scored five tries as a result. But in the end we can't give teams a fourteen point lead and concede some of the silly tries we are conceding and expect to win. We just have to keep going.'
