Following promotion at the end of 2017, Crofton are in Division 2 for 2018 - for only the second time in Crofton's history, and will now remain in Div 2 for the 2019 season.
The table above is the final table, published 28 Aug 2018.
At season-end after each team has played 18 matches, two teams are promoted and two are relegated.
At the top, where matters don't really concern us,
- Cowplain and Portsmouth Water are promoted
- with Cowplain finishing as Division Champions.
At the foot of the table,
- Hayling Island and Purbrook Heath are relegated.
- Crofton finish safe in eighth position.
Next season's Div 2 will feature Rowner and Bedhampton, relegated from Div 1, and College Park and Bridgemary, promoted from Div 3.

A good result but we are still third from bottom, we need to keep accumulating points to avoid relegation; our shot difference is improving |
