Congratulations to Southampton and Abingdon for being promoted to Division 1. SC1 26-10 DD1 AA2 5-20 SC1 DD1 10-10 AA2 Provisional Results
Regional League Oxford City 1 9-18 Southampton Spartans 1 OKA Division 1 Didcot 1 8-26 Abingdon 1 OKA Division 2 (N) Didcot 2 5-17 Abingdon 2 Oxford City 3 3-11 Oxford City 2 Oxford City 2 11-5 Isis 2 A good weekend Basingstoke who secured second place in division 1 with a win against Farnborough and consolidate their position in the regional league with a result against Horfield.
In division 1 Oxford Isis secured a valuable bonus point to take them equal on points with Didcot. Isis have finished their games, Didcot have games left to play. If it finishes equal on points Didcot will finish higher due to the head to head record. With 2 games to spare, Abingdon 2 have secured the Division 2 (N) title and join Southampton City in the playoffs. Also spare a thought for Gloucester who were on the receiving end of a 47-8 defeat at the hands of Bristol Thunder in the regional league!

The runner up spot will be decided next week as Farnborough and Basingstoke play each other – they are currently equal on points.
Two wins for Abingdon 2 strengthens their position at the top of division 2 (N) and the final few games were played in division 2 (S).

It was a good day for Oxford Uni 2 who will make progress up the league after winning 3 out of 3, but a tough weekend away for Basingstoke in the promo division.
Also many congratulations to Southampton University – who won the Student Nationals this afternoon! Coach Dave Creed had this to say: “What a team, so proud to be a part it. 3 years in the making. Every single player was brilliant and created a memory i dont think i will ever forget. The fight and determination to win (even at 5 down in the semi) was amazing! Proud day to be a Spartan!” Provisional Results EKL Promotional Division (North & West) Manchester Warriors 19-8 Basingstoke Bulls Nottingham 22-7 Basingstoke Bulls OKL Division 1 Didcot 1 2-19 Oxford City 1 OKL Division 2 (N) Oxford City 2 10-12 Oxford Uni 2 Oxford City 3 5-12 Oxford Uni 2 Oxford Uni 2 15-5 Abingdon 3 OKL Division 2 (S) Southampton Uni 2 8-6 Basingstoke 2 Soton City 1 28-7 Soton City 2 In the regional league there was a successful trip to Cardiff for Basingstoke and Southampton consolidated their 2nd position with a win at Gloucester.
In the OKL there was just two games held in Southampton after the unfortunate cancellation of the Sundays matches at St Gregs due to a leak in the sports hall roof made it unsafe. A lot of work went on last minute to try and find an alternative, but to no avail so these matches will be rescheduled. As we near the end of the season, it looks as though the playoffs will consist of Southampton City from division 2 (S), but with a few more games left to play in division 2 (N) and division 1 there are still a number of teams who may feature – it could be very close!

It was a tough weekend for Basingstoke facing some very strong opposition in the EKA promotion division. In division 1 Southampton Uni go back to the top after a successful trip up to play Didcot and Isis. Oxford City and Abingdon fought it out in a high scoring game and Oxford Uni v Farnborough was also a very close affair, with a good come back by Uni in the second half to get the draw.

They followed this up with a draw against Isis and valuable points in fight to avoid the relegation zone.
After a hasty change of venue due to hall trouble, Southampton secured a win against Cardiff Uni in the regional league. The problems also meant the scheduled Southampton City 2 - Woking 2 game could not go ahead. No such problems up North though, as Didcot 2 beat Isis 2.

In total 4 matches could not go ahead and will be rescheduled later in the season.
In division 2 (S) Woking 2 won a close match with Southampton City and look like the team to beat in the division this year. However, they are not eligible for promotion so if they finish in top spot, the 2nd place team will enter the playoffs.
