Fareham Heathens have a meeting with the Hampshire 1 leaders for the second successive league weekend, but they are far from daunted by the prospect.

Having put the boot into Isle of Wight with a 12-0 whitewash a fortnight ago, they travel across to in-form Trojans prepared to take another scalp, but this one will be more difficult to claim.

Trojans are riding high and coach Pete Surtees has named a provisional team which could change. "If players do not come to training as we have so many now knocking on the first team door, we can pick and choose who we want to play."

Unbeaten in over three months, Trojans know they just need to keep winning to climb back into London 4 South-West and they are capable of doing so, although Surtees knows the challenge of Heathens will be tough.

"They gave us a good game earlier in the season and will not be underestimated. We only won at their place because we scored 20 points in the first half - they dom-inated the second with the wind."

Alan Ryan returns from his examination absence at inside centre while James Pennington is back at fly-half. Hampshire Under 20 starlet Tom Mackintosh re-enters the fray at blindside.

Heathens make three changes, all in the backs with John Jarvis and Anthony Reynolds pairing up in the centre and skipper Mark Dunning switches to full-back.

Second-placed Guernsey are across the other side of Eastleigh town centre and should have little trouble in disposing of the next-to-bottom injury-ravaged strugglers while Isle of Wight, in third, have a island derby with Sandown & Shanklin.

New Milton & District are waiting patiently for slip-ups from the top three and should further compound Fawley's wretched season on the Waterside.

Welshman Watcyn Lewis plays his first league match of the season at scrum-half, having been in Australia for the World Cup, while Ben Bradley-Watson switches to hooker from his favoured back-row position.

Millbrook can boost their relegation fears when they take on unpredictable Farnborough at home. They should have Dominic Sales and Colin Scott back from injury, as long as they both pass fitness tests, while team manager Alan Day includes himself on the replacements bench having missed the cup game at Eastleigh with a knee injury.

In Hampshire 2, Nomads could go back to top with Alresford out of action but opponents Alder-shot & Fleet were the side that took the green and blacks' 100 per cent record a fortnight ago.

Chris Ham and Nick Wood are both key absentees for the Portsmouth-based side, so Tim Ayles and Roy Thompson fill in.

Ellingham & Ringwood travel to winless Kingsclere and Ford-ingbridge go over the Dorset border to Lytchett Minster, needing a win to beat off any fears of the drop. Ventnor can clinch the Hampshire 3 title if they beat nearest rivals East Dorset.
