Treble-chasing Infinity take on Colden Common at Locks Heath (7.30pm) for the right to play Bush Hill in the final at Hythe & Dibden on May 6.

Infinity’s Jamie White (40 goals from 30 league and cup appearances this season) is the HPL’s leading marksman - averaging 1.33 goals per game.

But Common’s Sam Adams boasts 32 goals from 24 outings - and his goals per game ratio is exactly the same as White’s.

Infinity are aiming to retain the silverware they won last season, while they are also favourites to land the club’s first HPL title and also retain the Southampton Intermediate Cup.

‘It’s going to be a tough game because Colden Common are a good side,' said Infinity boss Danny Thompson.

‘If you look at their results lately, they’re a bit up and down.

‘But they’ve got some good players.

‘We know they’re dangerous.’

Infinity haven’t lost in 26 league and cup games against HPL opposition this season - winning all but three of them.

They have numerous goal threats even without White, such as Andrew Powell (21 goals), Danny Phillips (20), Wayne Boud (17) and Kurt Watts (13).

But Common are not just reliant upon Adams - second top scorer David Paskins has 22 league and cup goals.

Common have lost their last three games - going down 5-1 at Fleetlands and 2-1 to Hayling in the league and suffering a shock 3-1 home loss to lower division Moneyfields in the quarter-finals of the Hampshire Trophy.
