The final weekend of men's Division 3 games at Matlock began with four teams - Southampton, Croydon Amphibians, Worthing and Manchester Hawks - showing identical records (four wins and defeat from five games) and with Championship 2 places assured. The only match involving these teams saw Worthing defeat a very young Manchester Hawks outfit 14-8, including five goals for Joe Hazeldine and four for Vytautas Liubertas.
Croydon cruised into a 5-nil lead against Castleford before winning 9-6; Charles Roberts collected another five goals for Southampton, who went from 3-2 down to 6-2 against Cambridge in the third period en route to a 9-4 victory.
Tim Chambers (8) and Omiros Pantazis (6) fired Otter to a 24-6 win against bottom team Cheltenham Spartans.
