Division 2 of the Portsmouth & District League saw Emsworth win away at Chichester to throw the title race wide open and possibly prevent a clean sweep of all three divisions by the Chichester clubs. The last three fixtures of Division 2 pitch the two top teams against each other in the Cosham v Chichester fixture to be played on 18th May. Meanwhile 3rd placed Emsworth play Portsmouth who themselves could overcome all by winning their final two games!
