The opening matches of 2018 have seen all matches won by the away team. An under-strength Chandlers Ford A team gave a good account of themselves against a strong Southampton C team, while in divisions 3 and 4 Winchester B and Fareham B remain bottom of divisions 3 and 4 respectively.

Southampton C who play in Division 3, is the only team with a 100% record, and Southampton teams lead three of the five divisions. Division 2 is as usual tightly contested with little difference between the teams.
