A Bank Holiday weekend of football to come, and there are games on both the Saturday and the Monday (and even one on Tuesday) in the Senior Division . Leaders Denmead are not in action, so the two other unbeaten teams have a chance to overtake them in the table if they win, but neither have easy games. Locks Heath have a 100% record and have a trip to Broughton on Saturday. Crofton Saints have a home game against Hook on Monday. Hook also must travel on Saturday; they play at Liphook United. AFC Shirley are doing well and have two games at the weekend, they travel to Whitehill & Bordon on Saturday (who got their first win of the season last weekend), and are then at home to Andover Town, who have lost all three of their games so far, on Monday. Also on Saturday, Stockbridge will be looking for their first points of the season when they host Hedge End Rangers. Other games on Monday include Broughton at home to Whitehill & Bordon, Liphook United hosting Meon Milton, and Stockbridge against Bishops Waltham Dynamos, who will be looking to break a run of two defeats on the trot. The game on Tuesday sees Southsea Sports, who have won their last two, at home to Liss Athletic. Division One only has games on the Saturday. Overton United won well at Whiteley last Saturday and this time travel to Paulsgrove, who lost at Nursling & Shirley last weekend on their return to this division. Nursling & Shirley host Rushmoor Community. BTC Southampton celebrated their first game in this league with a win, this weekend they are at home to Silchester Village. The other relegated team, Sway, got a decent point last week at Silchester and this time host Mob Albion. Hayling United will be looking to improve on last weekend's defeat at AFC Netley as they entertain Twentyten, and Headley United play their first game of the season as they travel to Whiteley Wanderers.

This weekend, we have a full complement of Senior Division matches, but it is also the first day of the Division One season. In the Senior Division , we now have three unbeaten sides. Denmead will look to continue their great start with a home game against Liphook United, who ended AFC Shirley's long unbeaten record last time out. Crofton Saints had a great win at Liss Athletic on Tuesday, and they host Andover Town, who have started with two defeats so far, and Locks Heath are at Stockbridge, who have lost all three games so far. Bishops Waltham Dynamos suffered their first loss on Tuesday and will be looking to make amends as they host Broughton. Liss Athletic did the same and they play Hook, who have started well with two wins out of three so far. Two more teams looking to bounce back from their first defeat meet in an attractive-looking game at the Cockleshell as Meon Milton play AFC Shirley . Both Southsea Sports and Hedge End Rangers had their first wins last time out and they face each other at Langstone, which could be an interesting encounter. Whitehill & Bordon are winless in four and are at home to Moneyfields Res. In Division One , the two relegated clubs will be looking to make a swift comeback, and both start with potentially difficult away trips. Paulsgrove travel to Nursling & Shirley, who, as QK Southampton last season, were in the bottom two for quite a while but eventually finished well clear after a good run from January. Sway are at Silchester Village, who finished a creditable fifth on their return to this level least season. Overton United missed out on promotion in their final game and begin this season with a trip to Whiteley Wanderers, who finished second bottom. BTC Southampton, up from the Southampton League, play at Twentyten, who were bottom last season. Two teams who nearly made the top five last season and will be looking to improve even further this time round face each other as AFC Netley host Hayling United (at Romsey Town), and Rushmoor Community, who also had a solid first season, are at Mob Albion, who finished third-bottom last year.
