Basingstoke go in search of a third consecutive National League 3 South victory when they host Weston-super-Mare tomorrow.
Consecutive wins over Reading and Tabard have hoisted Basingstoke up the table, whereas Weston are now isolated at the bottom without a single point from six league outings. A comprehensive home win would boost confidence still further.
Match of the day in Hampshire is undoubtedly the London 1 clash at Hooks Lane between Havant and Winchester. Unbeaten Havant head the table following a string of impressive victories, whereas Winchester only achieved their first victory last Saturday.
Havant add Jim McErlean, Filippo Virgili and Marcus Hayakawa to last week's squad, while skipper Adam Jewitt is also fit enough to be named this time.
Winchester are unchanged in the pack, but Andy McNamara is moved to centre and replaced on the wing by Rob West.
Portsmouth lead London 3 South West and are likely to have two changes for the visit of Old Emanuel.
Dave Thomas replaces Jimmy Martin at prop and Simon Moorcroft is almost certain to play on one of the wings.
Gosport & Fareham ought to maintain the pressure on Portsmouth when they entertain Dorking, but Andover may have their work cut out to maintain third spot when they travel to Old Wimbledonians.
Tottonians slipped up in 3 South West last week but should return to winning ways when they visit the bottom club, Old Alleynians. Julian Howell switches to fly-half for Dave Palmer, Stuart Oakley replaces Howell at full-back and Spencer Scott is brought in on the wing.
Southampton will be seeking to gain consecutive victories for the first time this season when they host Old Reedonians. Grant Whiteside and Alex Scott return to the team, while Mark Gordon takes over at full-back.
The fixture between Romsey and Farnborough is a vital one in the Hampshire 1 promotion chase since it is the first time any of the leading three have met.
Romsey introduce their new Australian recruit, Tristan Gregory, at No 8 and the only other change from last week's successful side sees John Shepherd play his first game of the season on the wing.
Millbrook gained some encouragement from a draw last week but are forced into changes behind the scrum. Alan Griffin is introduced at scrum-half, Chris Ings switches to full-back, Richard Wyer replaces Ings at centre and Anthony Moschaskis is brought in on the wing.
Hamble's captain, George Winch is unavailable for the visit of Guernsey so Mike Whitmee makes his debut and replaces Winch at scrum-half, while Scott Noble takes over the captaincy and Stuart Gilbert returns at hooker.
Eastleigh face a daunting trip to Nomads in Hampshire 2, but have the experienced Tony Hastings at fly-half now that he has returned to the club.
Clive Wooding, Steve Bodey and Ian Struckman form the front-row, while the promising Nick Edmonds is given a start on the wing.
