In the regional league Southampton came very close to causing an upset in a very close game with league leaders and defending champions Bristol Thunder. Basingstoke managed a win against the travelling Cardiff Celts, but they got their revenge later in the day with a win in Oxford.
In division 1 there were wins Oxford City and Southampton Uni, but it finished all square between Isis and Oxford Uni. There was a big win for Abingdon 3 in division 2 (N) and experience triumphed over youth, with wins for Basingstoke and Southampton City at Reading in division 2 (S).

In division 1 there were wins for Farnborough and Basingstoke. The other scheduled match (Abingdon v Basingstoke) was forfeit by Abingdon.

Provisional Results Regional League Oxford City 18-15 Cardiff Uni. Southampton Spartans 23-10 Horfield OKA Division 1 Farnborough 1 23-8 Didcot 1 Isis 1 5-18 Basingstoke Bulls 1 OKA Division 2 (N) Isis 2 4-11 Abingdon 2 Abingdon 3 7-7 Oxford City 2 Southampton maintain their unbeaten record in division 1 with a successful away trip up to Oxford. A special mention for Alex Bell (Southampton Uni) who scored an impressive 13 (thirteen!) goals in their victory against Oxford City. A dynamic and hardworking Oxford Uni battled hard but also lost out to the experienced side. In the very next game they then faced Basingstoke, and despite fighting for every ball could not keep pace with their goal scoring.
In the early games in Reading there was a rude awakening for the hosts against Southampton City 1, but they redeemed themselves with a good first win of the season against Farnborough 2. Elsewhere, it was a very close game between Oxford Uni 2 and Isis 2 that could have gone either way. In the end a single goal separated the teams and it went to Uni. Finally, Woking 2 maintain a perfect record with a win against Southampton City 2.
