Fareham & Crofton and Portsmouth & Southsea put their respective and immediate Southern Premier League Division 3 futures on the line in tomorrow’s final round of matches.
Fareham host newly crowned champions Bashley (Rydal) II – the match at Bath Lane starts at the earlier time of 11.30 – with a slender four-point advantage over P & S, who must wipe out that deficit and more when they climb Portsdown Hill to face Purbrook.
