Fair Oak will clinch the Southern Premier League Division 3 championship if they beat Gosport Borough at Lapstone Park.
Eighteen points will secure the crown for Oaks, who have won 12 of the 13 games they’ve played this season, and give young Academy all-rounder Tom South (above) his debut.
But for Gosport it’s an entirely different ball game as they are among the five clubs (half the division) fighting a tense relegation battle.  They lie just outside the two-down drop zone, five-points ahead of Fawley, but with a crunch match with basement side Lymington I on the agenda seven days later.
Any of the bottom five from Portsmouth & Southsea down could find themselves playing Hampshire League cricket in 2019 if results don’t go their way in the final three weeks of the season.
Last season’s County 1 champions P & S host relegation rivals Havant II (who beat Gosport Borough last week) and will be safe with a home win at St James's Park. Fawley (ninth) visit mid-table Hambledon.
Fawley: C Earl, K Earl, A Parratt, B Parratt, Smith, Freeman, K Sharma, K Sharma, Munir, Bryers, Crossley. 
Rock bottom Lymington II expect to be unchanged at home to South Wilts II who lie third, two points behind Purbrook, who face a testing visit from Bashley (Rydal) II, the other side in the four-cornered promotion scrap.
Lymington: Kelly, Agha, Barton, Whyte, Attrill, Layman, Cox, Willis, Smith, Woodward, McCurdy.
South Wilts II: Berzins, Lloyd, Anderson-Emm, Prescott, Pearce, R Pittman, S Pittman, Fisher, J Wade, Atkinson, Burton.

Personnel changes at first team level indicate Bashley (Rydal) II will send a stronger than normal side to second placed Purbrook, where they need to win go bolster their own chances of finishing runners-up behind champions designate Fair Oak.
Bashley (Rydal) II: R Grierson, P Lewis, J Underwood, Z Millar, P Morris, C Vaughan, M Wilson, S Morris, S Ridley, J Eede, G Harris.
