Without a match tomorrow, Paultons can expect to lose further ground in the Southern Electric Premier League, Division 3 promotion race.

Unbeaten leaders Rowledge, second-placed Havant II and Hungerford, in fourth spot, will all be expecting to win.

Rowledge visit mid-table Portsmouth II at St Helen's, Havant take their promotion challenge to relegation-threatened Bashley (Rydal) II, and Hungerford go to Hook & Newnham Basics.

Trojans, whose promotion chances ended with a penultimate-ball defeat at United Services last week, have Paul Douglas and Sam Freeman back against outsiders Portsmouth & Southsea.

Teenager Hal Mohammed will be hoping for a top-four batting slot after a fine 69 for Hampshire Under-17s against Somerset YCs at the Rose Bowl yesterday.

Bottom-of-the-table Leckford know that anything short of a victory over Bournemouth II will effectively mean relegation.

New Milton, who floored Hambledon last week, have an opportunity of repeating the dose against improving United Services - but must try and win without the influential Iain Griffiths.
