Fareham lead Division 1 despite dropping a point against Emsworth in a 3-3 draw as chasers Chichester and Gosport both failed to capitalise. Chichester lost 2-4 at home to Portsmouth whilst Gosport lost away to Cosham. The league remains fiercely contested with all teams still in with a chance to take the title.
