THE lower league ranks only have one round of games in the next five weeks and plenty of opportunity to charge the batteries and prepare for a vital end-of-season programme with friendly games.

Millbrook make the short journey to Eastleigh in search of the form that could stave off the drop from Hampshire One, while Eastleigh still have hopes of promotion from League Two.

Centre Dominic Sales makes his first full start after recovering from injury while Wayne Renwick's hamstring has healed to allow him to come in at fly-half.

Paul Moschakis keeps his place on the wing after impressing last week, with Mike Goodridge and Adam Cripps out with work commitments, and Tony Ward switches to hooker with Colin Scot and Richard Goodridge still sidelined.

Eastleigh give Lloyd Atree the winger's berth in an otherwise much-changed outfit that even includes coach Kevin Byron-Butler on the replacements bench.

Elsewhere, Southampton put their troubled league season behind them for a week when they host Farnborough while Fareham Heathens receive the side they almost took far too lightly a month ago - Hampshire Two title favourites Aldershot & Fleet.

Such is the strength in numbers at Paxton Pumas that they field two sides again, the first XV taking on Southampton III.

Stoneham hope to get a win under their belts when they visit fledgling Chineham II.
