So where you right? The 2002 SPCL polls results

Now that the 2002 Southern Electric Premier League has been successfully concluded it is time to look back on your thoughts in our season-long running polls on who you thought would scoop the three divisional titles.

And you were wrong on all three counts, too!!!

The majority of the 406 votes cast in the Division One poll thought that Liphook and Ripsley would take the title. Some 24.1% (98 votes) were cast in favour of the East Hampshire club, comfortably ahead of their nearest rivals B.A.T.Sports and actual runners-up, who gained 71 votes (17.5%).

Havant, who regained their crown as kings of the league, came in third amongst the SPCL web-site loggers, generating 60 votes (14.8%).

It may have been a surprise to many the success of Easton and Martyr Worthy this season, who finished second behind the Hampshire Academy in Division Two, but many of you were not, as 33 voters of the 120 listed thought they would win it!

United Services (15 votes) came in second, one vote ahead of the Academy, who of course will be playing in SPCL Division One next term.

Division Three was the closest you had come to getting it right. Alton were the season favourites with 26 of the 179 total votes (14.5%), three votes ahead of actual winners Purbrook (23 votes - 12.8%).

Thank you for taking part - hope that proved to be a bit of fun during the season. Watch out for some developments on the site during the winter.
