TADLEY Calleva’s hopes of winning the Wessex League Division One title were dealt a bitter blow as they lost 3-0 at home to Cowes Sports on Saturday.

The Isle of Wight side led by two goals at the break and added a third in the second half to claim a comprehensive victory that pushed Tadley down to third in the table.

Danny Dolan’s men will be desperate to return to winning ways tomorrow night, when they make the short trip to Andover New Street.
