Top dogs Portsmouth and Havant clash in a vital South East Hants Indoor League encounter at the Fareham Leisure Centre on Sunday (6.15).

Havant are setting the pace after back-to-back wins over Purbrook and Harting.

But Portsmouth, unable to raise a side against Harting, have not begun their title defence well.

They lost four wickets before passing Portchester's modest 82-5.

James Milne and Ian Saunders inspired PCS Cormorants' hefty 70-run victory over Bedhampton.

Veteran John Hovey was the star of Bedhampton B's win against Denmead - the seasoned Guildhall campaigner taking 4-22 and before making 47 not out.
