New Milton took a step closer to the inevitable relegation trap door but, defending a modest 132, at least had the satisfaction of taking six Havant wickets before conceding an 11th successive defeat.
Their fight-back owed much to the tenacity of teenage batsman Raff Hussey, pictured, whose 70 was his third fifty-plus score in the ECB Southern Premier Division this season.
He hit 11 boundaries in a 100-ball stay at the crease and was seventh out at 118 before Richard Hindley (4-19) cleaned up the lower-order.
Campbell Golding and George Watts took wickets each before Chris Stone’s resolute 48 got the defending champions across the line.
