TADLEY Calleva’s hopes of winning the Wessex League Division One title look all but over after they were beaten at home by mid-table Downton on Saturday.

The visitors scored twice without reply to condemn Tadley to a defeat that leaves them 10 points behind leaders Team Solent. Danny Dolan’s men remain second in the table, with two games in hand on the top team, but they are running out of time to close the gap.

Calleva will be hoping to close the gap on Saturday, when they host Romsey Town, who sit 14th in the table.
