Rugby: Jonny Joiner scored two tries as Ellingham & Ringwood registered a hard-fought 30-26 victory over Dorset & Wilts Two South rivals Bridport.

Bridport took an early lead at the Raymond Brown Memorial Ground before the hosts clawed their way back through captain Aaron Barker's two penalties.

These were followed by tries from hooker Gareth Chew and full-back Jonny Owen with Barker adding a conversion to give them an 18-7 lead at the break.

Wing three-quarter Joiner went over twice in the second half, one of which was converted by Barker.

Although Bridport came back strongly with three further tries and two conversions to reduce the deficit to 30-26, Ellingham held out to secure an important bonus point win.
