The New Milton G team could still go up to Div 2 as Div 3 champions but they were forced to a 5-5 draw by Bmth Sports M away at Chapel Gate. A special mention must go to Danny Williams who played up from Div 4 to claim two scalps in Div 3. The G’s have a tough run-up in the final two weeks of the season as they face third-placed Merton E, then second-placed Ringwood B. However they need only take a point off Merton to secure promotion to the higher echelons.

Dan the Man played up a division and won two for the G team in Div 3

The H team, who are currently second in Div 4, also kept their promotion hopes alive with an excellent 7-3 win over Merton G, courtesy of hat-tricks from Matthew Winter and Svet Ignatov. The Jays are top of Div 5 and did their title hopes no harm either with a 9-1 victory over the K team in their local derby. However, they have a “bye” in the final week so they will just have to sit it out.  Full results are below:-
