Horspath Hammers visit Southampton in a South West Region top-of-the-table battle today.

The two sides are locked together on 14 points along with East Newport and Poole, but crucially Horspath and Southampton have had fewer meetings.

The Saints match at East Newport last Sunday fell victim of the weather, which has clouded the race for the title.

Hammers will track a strong line-up, including bringing in the Osborne brothers, Lewis and Chris, over from their Suffolk base.

The two sides are due to meet again at Horspath on Sunday, November 12.

Hammers' Rachel Edge can look forward to having home advantage in the British Women's Championship next June after the event was awarded to the village track.

It will take place alongside the British Under 16 Women's Championships and the British Under 13 Team Champ- ionship.

Edge, the British women's No 2, will be looking to go one better than last year.
