CHRISTCHURCH boss Graham Kemp said he had no complaints with the late penalty that condemned them to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of top-six rivals Romsey.

Romsey’s wily striker Simon De’ath both won and successfully converted the spot kick to settle an otherwise limp encounter at the Bypass Ground.

Kemp said: “Whether it should have been given or not was open to negotiation but I am not going to bleat about it or use it as an excuse for our defeat.

“We played well enough but were found wanting in the final third. Neither team created too much and Romsey probably scored with their only shot on target.”
