Hamble have been paired against Kent/Sussex Regional League runners-up Maidstone in the first of the South Premier League promotion play-offs at Woolmer Hill, near Haslemere on Saturday week, April 9.

If weight of goals is to be any guide, Hamble, left, will go into their semi-final as favourites. Their thumping 104-goal tally from 21 league games far exceeds the 79 Maidstone scored finishing runners-up behind unbeaten Kent/Sussex champions, Blackheath.

If they win, Hamble will face either Henley or Slough who play in the second play-off, with the winners of the final joining Trojans in South Premier League, Division 2 next term.

Hamble also have a Hampshire Cup semi-final date against City of Portsmouth at Burnaby Road - provisionally on Sunday April 16.

Trojans are already through to the May 2 final, which has been switched from Bournemouth to the Southampton Sports Centre.
