WEEKEND PREVIEW - 10 JANUARY
Only a couple of cup games scheduled for this weekend, so the focus is back on the league, with both divisions having pretty full programmes.
One Hampshire Saturday Trophy match is scheduled after being called off last weekend, Andover Town hosting a useful-looking Follands 'A' team from the Southampton League.
In the Portsmouth Senior Cup, Hayling United face a big trip to Isthmian South Central side AFC Portchester. Portchester's original opponents Leatherhead have an FA Trophy match.
In the Senior Division, leaders Crofton Saints face a tough trip to in-form Moneyfields Res, who have risen to sixth after one league defeat in eight, some good victories amongst them.
Locks Heath are only a point behind Saints with two games in hand and also face a tricky trip to Whitehill & Bordon. Hook, a point behind Locks, host mid-table Bishops Waltham Dynamos, and, just behind them in fourth, AFC Shirley are at second-bottom Liphook United. Further down the table, Stockbridge are now out of the bottom three and will be looking for their third victory in a row as they host Southsea Sports, with whom they are now level on points.
Meon Milton are now third from bottom and have a trip to Denmead, who are fifth but are rather inconsistent. Liss Athletic are seventh but haven't won in their last six league and cup games, they travel to Broughton who haven't won in three.
In Division One, the top two are only separated by goal difference and they meet on Saturday as AFC Netley host leaders Overton United.
Third-placed Silchester Village host improving Whiteley Wanderers, and fourth-placed Hedge End Town travel to Mob Albion, who have lost four league games in a row. BTC Southampton, in fifth, have games in hand on those above them and they host mid-table Rushmoor Community, and Nursling & Shirley in sixth head to another improving team, Sway.
Finally, we have a bottom-three clash as Twentyten play their first game for over a month as they host bottom club Paulsgrove, who are on a five-game losing streak.
