Alton will put themselves in an unassailable position at the top of Southern Electric Premier League, Division 3 if they overcome their midweek SEC Cup semi-final defeat and beat Ventnor at the Jubilee Ground tomorrow, 1 o'clock.
Undefeated in nine league outings, Alton are already 17 points clear of second-placed Ventnor and, if they beat the Islanders, they will be almost unstoppable as the championship run-in evolves.
But Alton came a ten-wicket cropper against Bournemouth on Tuesday night and Ventnor are hoping to exploit any uncertainty that may have caused.
Both sides are at full strength for Monday's Daily Echo feature match.
Third-placed Trojans, 19 points behind Ventnor, have Jamie Donaldson and Tim Felstead back for the potential home banker against Southsea at Stoneham Lane.
Rowledge should be too strong for Bashley (Rydal) II, but soccer commitments at Havant & Waterlooville will probably mean Jimmy Taylor's unavailability for Winchester KS against Leckford.
It's an important day at the foot of the table, with Flamingo hoping to impose a third successive defeat on New Milton at The Holt.
South Wilts' visit to Hambledon is all important, as is Waterlooville's short trip to Portsmouth II, who are sliding into trouble.
