The visiting county side, whose eight players were all off scratch or better and included an England 'A' squad member in Scott Gregory, were given a real test by their CI counterparts, but crucially took four points from the five rubbers that went the full 18-hole distance over the weekend.
Three of those matches came in Saturday afternoon's foursomes in which Hampshire managed to open a two-point overnight lead, which proved decisive in the overall match, which was won 7-5.
