Mark Tillison was the star turn as Copnor A&E made sure of third with an emphatic 7-2 victory over Portchester X. 

His 39 and more doubles by Lee Eden and Ant Lacey were too much for the Castlemen.

An early effort from Neil Turp and a late doubles win by Darren Inch and Andy Macey just kept the score down.

Copnor D’s visit to the top flight was short-lived as they failed to reproduce their best form.
