THERE was no early Christmas present for Basingstoke RFC as they suffered another home defeat, this time at the hands of visiting Old Reigatians in London Two South West.

The visitors won the game 57-0 to record their first away win of the season and this leaves Stoke hoping for better luck in 2016.

Their next game is away at KCS Old Boys on Saturday January 9 and they lost in the reverse fixture at Down Grange 34-12.
