Again, another crucial weekend in both of our leagues, with an attempt to make some sense of the permutations:

In the Senior Division it's first v second as leaders Colden Common host second-placed Bishops Waltham Dynamos, whose final game this is after an excellent season. 

However, it is interesting to note that the three teams immediately below Common (positions 2-4) cannot catch them, but either of the two following teams (positions 5-6) still can, if they win all (or most of) their remaining games and Common falter. 

TABLES

Either way, Common need eight points from their remaining five games (seven will probably do due to their goal difference) to be absolutely sure of the title. 

Of those two teams still in with a chance, fifth-placed Liss Athletic are in good form, six wins in seven in the league, and host mid-table Meon Milton. Andover Town, on a run of five successive league wins, have a difficult game at Hook, who are level on points with them.

Locks Heath, currently in third, have a tricky trip to Liphook United, who have won their last two and can reach the top half of the table with a good run as they still have seven games to play. 

RESULTS

Sway could condemn Paulsgrove to bottom place if they win at mid-table Stockbridge, who have just lost four in a row. However, Sway are on a six-match winless run.

Fourth-bottom Whitehill & Bordon still have nine games left to play and could reach mid-table with a good run of results. They host Harvest this weekend. 

In Division One, Broughton must win their last game, at home to improving QK Southampton, and wait on other results to see if they will win the title, although that won't be decided this weekend.

FIXTURES

Second-placed Overton United, unbeaten in ten, are two points behind Broughton with a game in hand, and have a difficult task at mid-table Rushmoor Community this time out..

In third, Crofton Saints are currently fourteen points behind the leaders but have six games still to play. On Saturday they host third-bottom Mob Albion.

Overton play Crofton at the end of April so a win for Broughton tomorrow would guarantee a top two place.

Hayling United play Upham at home and only a seven-goal win would move them ahead of Silchester into fifth place. AFC Netley, not playing this weekend, need two big wins to do the same.

Headley United still have five games to play and could reach mid table if they win most of them. This weekend they travel to last-placed Twentyten who could still yet overtake Whiteley Wanderers. But Twentyten have lost their last five, some of them heavily.
