Havant's derby win at Chichester moved them up to fourth in the table on nine points.

The middle of the league is so close that a win or a loss can dramatically change the league standings.

University of Bristol have scored 15 goals, the third highest in the league with Rufus McNaught-Barrington their in-form striker.

He tops the individual goal chart with 10 goals, four field, five penalty corners and a penalty stroke.

Former Havant players George Cairns and Will Jones return to Barncroft Way where they played during the early part of their careers.

Meanwhile, Havant Ladies return to league action on Saturday with a home match against Hampstead & Westminster seconds at Havant College (1.30pm).

Hampstead & Westminster lost last weekend 2-1 against top-of-the-table Guildford and are fifth in the league table on 10 points.

Havant are in 10th position on one point so far, having played one less game than Hampstead & Westminster.
