But Simon Williams knows his full strength side must beat third-placed Hambledon at Stoneham Lane tomorrow (1pm) to stand any realistic chance of challenging Rowledge, the unbeaten leaders.

John Robinson returns to captain Paultons at New Milton, while leaders Rowledge look to boost their confidence for Sunday's npower Village Cup tie in Kent with a win at mid-table Hartley Wintney.
Second-placed Havant II have Paul Gover and Phil Loat on duty at Purbrook, seriously weakened by the loss of Will Prozesky and Mike Hennessy.
