WIMBORNE captain Dave Huggins praised his side's bounce-back-ability' after their 34-20 home triumph over Devizes.
The All Blacks fought back from a 20-15 deficit to protect their 100 per cent winning record at Leigh Park this season in Southern Counties South.
Dave Stephens (two), Chris Hicks, Steve King and Huggins touched down for the Dorset club, with Paul Roberts adding two conversions.
But trailing 17-7 at the break, it had looked an uphill task that Wimborne might not have been able to turn round.
Huggins said: "We played poorly in the first half, and in fairness to Devizes, they played really well and deserved to have the half-time lead.
"We rallied in the second half and played more like we can.
"Steve King's try, from a move that started in our own 22 and with the ball going through eight pairs of hands, gave us confidence.
"It meant we went on to win quite comfortably in the end."
Wimborne: Green, Murphy, Tinsdale, Pert, Davis, Coulling, Huggins, Hicks, Llewellyn, Roberts, Brokenshire, Stephens, Thick, King, K Lynch. Subs: R Lynch, Lennon, Bartlett.
