Several results this week with all three divisions featuring. In Division 1 Gosport defeat Portsmouth to put an end their challenge for the league this season. In Division 2 Fareham lose to Emsworth to dent their hopes of challenging for the top although Cosham winning against Portsmouth has closed the Chichester lead to just one point.

Meanwhile Division 3 have seen Chichester crowned as Champions following their away win against Fareham. Wins for Dallas, Miller, Spence and Willets saw Chichester win the top 4 boards to secure the title.

Will Chichester teams make it a clean sweep in the Portsmouth League this season?
