Final standings after Hudson's Field fixture, Salisbury

The league has grown to become one of the fiercest fought in the country. In addition to attracting the best athletes from England's third largest shire county, quality from Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Sussex adds to the mix. It is believed that Fergus is Bournemouth's first ever champion in the Under 15 age category.

Meanwhile the senior men wrapped up Division Two in style by claiming a fifth win out of five. Four times this decade the Division Two championship shield has found its way to Kings Park and a cumulative league score which would have placed fifth in Division One suggests this dubious honour may not be raced for in the near future!

Individually, Ian Habgood was second placed individual from Division Two over the campaign. Finishing 12th overall, only Havant’s Colin Dixon recorded a higher aggregate score from Division Two clubs.
