Despite two defeats in four games Redrice are top of the Hampshire Premier Division.

The Oakwood Shopfitting sponsored team could only put out a weakened side away at Lee, and the only Redrice winner on the night was team captain Gary Hales, who won 3-0.

The second defeat followed away at Winchester, where Redrice narrowly lost 3-2.

But two victories in a week quickly reversed their fortunes. A 3-2 win at bottom side Trojans was achieved thanks to comfortable wins by Michael Elford, Stuart Summers and Hales.

Cannons Portsmouth proved to be a much harder challenge, as Elford was absent due to the professional squash season beginning. Ray Burke won the vital match as he came back from 2-1 down, and Hales won 3-0, as did Adrian Williams.

Alex Antonius and Summers lost, but Redrice took 14 points, and went top of the table.
