Dan Conway missing for Bournemouth [James Robinson]
Four points separate the table topping Hampshire Academy, second placed Bashley (Rydal) and South Wilts going to the final round 50-over ' white ball' ECB Southern Premier League matches
As the coloured kit is unpacked, all three contenders play at home - the Academy to  Bournemouth, with Bashey hosting champions Burridge and South Wilts entertaining Basingstoke & North Hants.
The Academy enjoyed a solitary one-point lead at the top at the close of the nine-match all-day programme and field an all teenage team against a Bournemouth side shorn of Dan Conway, arguably the most economical bowler in SPL cricket.
Academy: Martin, Ashman, Gordon, Mayes, MacEwen, Davis, Gillett, Basey, Baker, Sundram, Foreshaw,
Bournemouth: Rogers, Van Gool, Webb, Meyer, Woodruff, Robinson, Guirdham, Smith, Rushforth, Hurley, Breckon.

South Wilts, four points behind the Academy, play Basingstoke, who are missing key all-rounder Brad Neal, who has an FA Cup ninth extra preliminary round tie for Tadley, a game sadly overlooked by the MOTD cameras.
South Wilts: Degg, Cheater, Mynott, Broderick, Draper, Fairfax, Falconer, Pittman, Freeman, Grant, Nash.
Lymington are without all-rounder Josh Royan against Altpn. A triple cricket Blue, he is at the Oxford University graduations where he is receiving his First Class honours degree, a fantastic achievement for the Priestlands School educated youngster.
Mark Heffernan returns for Alton ready to enhance his prospect of winning the Premier Division wicketkeeping award.
Lymington: Rogers, J Dhariwal, R Scott, K Dhariwal, C Moors, G Berg, J Royan, R Hemmings, G Layman, A Abbas, L Thompson.
Alton: Rajnikanth, Harris, Rolfs, Myers, Ruffell, Wright, South, Heffernan, Walters, Sumner, Varney.
In the other match, bottom team Havant play St Cross Symondians.
In Division 1, Portsmouth have a healthy 20-point lead at the top courtesy of last week's hammering of Sarisbuy Athletic.  They host third placed Hook & Newnham Basics (who beat them at the KGV) while Sarisbury host improving Totton & Eling with an unchanged side.
Zac LeRoux injured himself in a bizarre run-out dismissal in Tuesday's Guy Jewell T20 Cup semifinal, so is sidelined for the Rowledge-Calmore Sports contest. 
Rowledge: Ben Wish, David Lloyd, Ollie Baker, Max Martin, Jonty Sebborn, Justin Felsch, Olly Ryman, Will Ryman, Ryan Littlewood, Ed Reilly, Ferdy Marshall.
Elsewhere, Andover play Ventnor and OTs and Romsey host Waterlooville.
Division 2 leaders Hambledon visit Liphook & Ripsley minus left-hand opener George Marshall, but with Mark Butcher back behind the stumps after his trip to the US Democratic convention.
Hambledon: Chris Pratt, Will Parvin, Elliot Lewis, Justin Behrens, Charlie Boyd,  Henry Glanfield, Spencer Leclercq, Dan Mugford, Mark Butcher, Ollie Bembridge, James Restel
Portsmouth & Southsea bid to enhance their promotion prospects against Langley Manor. 
Leading wicket taker Jon Grasham returns but Sway are without the Bailey twins and injured John Walter against Gosport Borough at Station Road.
Sway: Tim Noble, Will Millard, Will Crossley, Oscar Hudson, Dave Steadman, Tom Burton, Jon Grasham, Seth Pickering, Olly Marshall, Rich Thomas, Jon Waller.
