THE WESSEX LEAGUE PREVIEW

Four Division One games played on the Tuesday saw two home wins and two draws Folland Sports and Totton & Eling ended goalless whilst Petersfield Town shared two goals and the points with Fleetlands.

A single goal saw Newport IOW maintain top spot with Downton’s win putting them back in the frame for the play offs at the expense of Hamworthy Recreation.

However Wednesday evening saw Andover New Street win and move them into second spot and close the gap on the Island side.

Fawley ran in three without reply against East Cowes, with Millbrook also bagging the points in a 5-1 win over Ringwood Town at Test Park.

The top of Division One on Saturday saw Newport defeat Andover New Street hitting four without reply. New Street slip two places because New

Milton Town and Petersfield Town both hit wins. The former at Andover Town despite going behind; the latter at home against Verwood Town 3-1, with it being 1-0 as we hit the 89th minute.

With both Downton and Hamworthy Recreation picking up points again- the Robins 2-0 on the Island and Rec hitting Ringwood with five second strikes in a 5-0 victory; the play off spots are certainly too close to call.

Even the champions is still a difficult call.

The basement clash saw Amesbury Town win 2-0 but are still in the bottom two with six points separating the next five sides. Close here as well.

Just two gates over the hundred mark in Division One, 142 at Newport and 179 at Petersfield.
